How is the slide pulled back on the rifle configuration?
Some people would insist that Manufacture d'armes des Pyrénées françaises was a Basque gunmaker, much like its counterpart on the other side of the mountains, STAR, Bonifacio Echeverría, S.A.

The slide is operated by depressing the sprung rod running through the forearm, as shown in the video that I linked above.
