WARNING:
1. ALWAYS KEEP THE CROSS BUTTON SAFETY ON (HEREINAFTER WILL BE REFERRED TO AS ONLY

EXTERNAL CONTROL PARTS
ACTION RELEASE CONTROL
1. NEVER TOTALLY DEPEND ON A MECHANICAL SAFETY. It is not a
substitute for proper shotgun handling. Like all mechanical devices the safety is
subject to breakage or malfunction and can be defeated by wear, abuse, dirt,
corrosion, incorrect assembly of the shotgun, improper adjustment or repair, or
lack of maintanence.
The action lock lever is located on the right side of the trigger housing just
rearward of the trigger guard. The action lock lever allows the action to be
unlocked and opened for inspection or unloading without pulling the trigger. The
action may be opened by depressing the lever and pulling the forearm
rearward.

NOTE: During firing, the action unlocks automatically after the hammer falls and
the action can becycled without depressing the action lever.
Carrier:
Located on the
underside of the
receiver, in front of the
trigger guard. Carrier is
pushed into the
receiver for loading the
shotgun.
Trigger:
Located in the trigger
guard. when the
shotgun is loaded
Magazine Cap:
Located in front of the
forearm and under the
barrel. It is screwed
(clockwise) over the
magazine tube to keep
the forearm and barrel
properly in place.
THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER
ABOUT SAFETIES
2. NO MECHANICAL SAFETY IS “CHILDPROOF” OR “FOOLPROOF”. No
safety ever invented can be relied upon to prevent an accidental shooting by a
determined child or a grownup idiot “playing” with a shotgun.
3. THREAT EVERY SHOTGUN AS IF YOU EXPECT ITS MECHANICAL
SAFETY NOT TO WORK. You will be astounded at how cautious you become,
and how little tolerance you will have for the complacency of others.
