What is the correct procedure when firing is completed?

When firing is completed, the proper procedure involves opening the action of the rifle and inserting a Clear Barrel Indicator (CBI). This step is crucial for safety as it visually indicates that the rifle is unloaded and safe to handle. The CBI serves as a clear visual reminder to both the shooter and others around that the rifle is not loaded, helping to prevent any accidental discharges.

Proper handling of a firearm after completion of firing is essential in maintaining a safe shooting environment. Using a CBI helps to communicate safety to all individuals nearby and adheres to responsible firearm practices. While other procedures, like securing the rifle or ensuring it is unloaded, are important, the immediate step of placing a CBI after opening the action is key in signaling that no ammunition is present, reinforcing safety protocols.
