User Manual

Direct Method
1) Push the action release lever upward and
bring the forend fully rearward (fig. 11) to
open the action (fig. 14). Place one cartridge
through the ejection port into the receiver
(fig. 12) and close the action by moving the
forend forward (fig. 13). The chamber is now
loaded with a cartridge for firing.
2) Turn over the firearm over so bottom opening
of the receiver is accessible (fig. 9).
3) 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 2” 3/4 (70 mm)
cartridges. To comply with federal and or
local laws and regulations currently in effect,
the shell capacity of the magazine should be
reduced with the appropriate magazine limit-
ing device.

ber the next round for firing.

check chamber, carrier and magazine to be
sure the firearm is completely unloaded.
Cartridge Replacement - Magazine
Stop Button
(Perform this operation with the safety “on”-
see Firearm Warnings - and the muzzle pointing
in a safe direction). During these phases, always
keep fingers away from the trigger.
To remove an unfired cartridge from the chamber
without releasing a round from the magazine,
proceed as follows:
1) Hold the firearm securely with buttstock
against hip, depress the action release lever
and slide the forearm rearward about 2 inches.
The magazine shell stop button on the under-
side of the forend can now be activated by
pushing it inward until it stops. Pull the forend
rearward to open the action until the loaded
cartridge is extracted from the chamber and
ejected from the firearm (fig. 15); a cartridge
will not be released from the magazine.
2) Insert the desired cartridge into the open
action of the receiver through the ejection
port (fig. 16). Close the action. The firearm is
now loaded and ready to be fired when the
safety is moved to the “off” or “fire” position.
WARNING
The mag stop button re-sets when the forearm is
moved fully forward and a round will be releas-
ed from the magazine on to the carrier the next
time the forearm is moved fully rearward.
