INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CHOKE TUBES

The BETA shotguns come with interchangeable choke tubes ( a version of BETA exists also with

ﬁxed choke ).

WARNING: Unload the ﬁrearm before changing choke tubes.

1. Place the safety in the “on safe” position and open the action. ( FIG.11 )

2. Place the choke tube wrench into the choke tube. ( FIG.12 )

3. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise to remove the choke tube. ( FIG.13 )

4. Select the desired choke tube and insert the tube into the barrel.

5. Screw it in clockwise until tight. Make certain it is tight using the choke wrench but do not

over tighten. A small amount of lubricate on the treads will ensure the choke tube can be

installed and removed with ease.

6. Check the choke tube periodically to make sure the tube has not loosened.

DO NOT FIRE THIS SHOTGUN WITHOUT HAVING A CHOKE TUBE INSTALLED.

UNLOADING THE SHOTGUN

1. Put the safety in the SAFE position and point the shotgun in a safe direction. ( FIG.14 )

2. Push the top lever to the right and open the shotgun. ( FIG.15 )

The breech will “break open” and pivot on the hinge pin exposing the chambers. The

extractors will lift the shells out of the chambers where they can be removed by hand

( FIG.16 )

Remember to keep the breech open until you are ready to reload to prevent any mistakes or

confusion as to the condition of the gun. If the breech is open anyone can see that the gun is

safe.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. After you have made sure that no shotshell remains in the chambers, close the shotgun.

Holding the stock ﬁrmly under your right arm, unlock the forend catch with the left hand,

simultaneously carefully separating the forend from the barrels ( FIG.17 ).

2. Open the shotgun and carefully disengage the barrel from the action frame. Carefully

reinstall the forend on the barrel. This will avoid damaging the forend.

3. The top lever can if necessary be release by pushing the cocking lever located in the

bottom of the action frame.( FIG.18 )

DO NOT STRIP YOUR SHOTGUN ANY FURTHER.

Limit your stripping operations to the removal of the barrel and possibly of the forend. This is quite

enough for normal maintenance. Any further stripping is best performed by a qualiﬁed gunsmith.
