Loading Procedures
Indirect Method
The firearm safety must be in the “on” (safe)
position and the hammer cocked to allow load-
ing cartridges in the magazine. (The red dot on
the action release lever must be visible).
1) With the action closed and the hammer cock-
ed, turn over the firearm over so bottom open-
ing of the receiver is accessible (fig. 9).
2) Place a cartridge in the opening and insert it
into the magazine tube (figs. 9-10) until the
cartridge stop lever automatically catches it
and holds the cartridge in place. Repeat the
operation until the magazine is completely
loaded. The magazine can hold three 3” 1/2
(89 mm) cartridges or four 3” (76 mm) or 2”
3/4 (70 mm) cartridges.
The shotgun is not ready to fire until a cartridge
is loaded into the chamber of the barrel using
the following procedures:
3) Push the action release lever upward and bring
the forend fully rearward (fig. 11) to open the
action. A cartridge from the magazine tube
will be released onto the carrier, lifted and put
into the chamber as the action is closed by
sliding the forend fully forward. The chamber
is now loaded with a cartridge for firing.
WARNING
The shotgun will fire if the safety is moved to
the “fire” position and the trigger is pulled.
Observe all safety rules.
An additional round can now be inserted into
the magazine if desired.
