REMOVING/INSTALLING CHOKE TUBES
WARNING : Unload the firearm before changing choke tubes. Leave the action open and the

3. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise to remove the choke tube.
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. With the action open and the chamber and magazine empty, check the choke tube
occasionally to make sure the tube has not loosened.
NEVER USE THE BARREL WITHOUT ANY CHOKE TUBES.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The proper maintenance and cleaning of your shotgun will enhance the performance and extend
the service life of your FABARM shotgun.
BARREL : Wet a patch with bore cleaning solvent and wet the inside of the bore by pushing the
wet patch through from the chamber end of the barrel.
BOLT & GAS PISTON : The bolt and the gas piston as important components must be cleaned
thoroughly. A good gun oil and bristle brush should clean it sufficiently.
Avoid over-lubrification. A thin coat of FABARM gun oil will help prevent rust.
SHOTGUN REASSEMBLY
1. Put the recoil spring back in place on the magazine tube.
2. Place the bolt assembly on the end of action bar and don’t forget to put the locking bolt in
position first
