5.5. Loading the gun
The gun can also be supplied with barrel
sets in 12, 20 and 28 gauge. Please make
sure before loading that the ammunition
corresponds with the barrel combination.
DANGER:
A loaded weapon is a danger to life!
• Ensure that the muzzle is always pointed
in a direction in which neither people,
animals nor property are endangered.
• Heavy jolting or dropping the gun can
cause locks to disengage, despite the
gun being safety-secured.
• Only put your finger on the trigger when
ready to shoot.
Load the gun as follows:
• Secure the gun with the safety catch lever.
S ( = Safe) is visible.
• Press locking lever and keep pressed.
• Tip barrel set downwards (approx. 45 °).
• Push cartridges into the chambers that
correspond to the gauge of the barrel set.
• Hold the barrel tilted downwards.
• Tip up buttstock.
• Check to see if locking lever is closed.
Gun is loaded, cocked and safety is on.
NOTE:
The F3 is fitted with a striker safety catch
system that is independent of the safety
slide position.
When closing the gun the trigger should not
be touched as this can cause one safety sear
to block the strikers.
