SAFETY RULES
WARNING: READ THESE SAFETY RULES & OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE
HANDLING YOUR FIREARM
• Never point a firearm at anyone and always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
• Always treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Don’t rely on your gun’s “safety”.
• Firearms should be unloaded when not in use and stored in a safe and secure location. Keep
firearms and ammunition away from children.
• Use correct ammunition. Only use ammunition that exactly matches the caliber or gauge
markings on your firearm.
• Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting.
• Before shooting be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions.
• Never load your firearm until you are in a location where it is safe to shoot. Always keep the
safety engaged until you are ready to shoot.
• Keep your finger off the trigger while loading or unloading the shotgun.
• If your gun fails to fire, keep it pointed in a safe direction, then unload it carefully avoiding
exposure to breech. If your gun fires, but the report or recoil seem weak, unload it and ensure
the barrel is not obstructed.
• Don’t alter or modify your gun. Use only genuine parts.
• Clean and maintain the firearm according to the instructions in this booklet.
• Keep your firearm unloaded. Never carry or store a loaded firearm in a building or a vehicle.
SERIAL NUMBER
The serial numbers of your FABARM express rifle is found on the receiver and on the monobloc.
The calibre is indicated on the barrel. The proof test marks are applied on the barrel and on the
action frame.
TRIGGER MECHANISM
The trigger mechanism on your express rifle is of the inertia type: it is the recoil energy from the
firing of the first shot which makes the second immediately available. The mechanism is controlled
by a single trigger.
SAFETY AND BARREL SELECTOR
The express rifle is on safe when the catch has been moved to the rear ( = towards the stock, when
the letter “S” appears on the action frame tang ) ( FIG. 1 ).
Always keep the shotgun on safe except when about to fire.
EXTRACTORS- AUTOMATIC EJECTORS
The ASPER express rifle is with automatic ejectors :The spent ammunition will be ejected from the
gun when it is opened, whilst an unfired ammunition will simply be extracted to facilitate its removal.
TOP LEVER
The top lever acts on the locking bolt which is adjusted to the barrel hooks. A locking reserve is built
into the bolt, so that perfect barrel locking can be achieved over a long period of time. Do not be
surprised if the top lever is not aligned with the barrel. For this reason, it is not necessary to confirm
the locking of the gun with your thumb ; allow the top lever to return of its own accord.
The angle made by the top lever with respect to the barrels axis is normal and indicates that there
is some locking reserve still available.
