3. It is absolutely essential to remove the anti-corrosion product applied in the

factory from all the metal surfaces. Give particular care to the cleaning of the

barrel bores and the inside of the action frame.

4. Before assembling the shotgun, check that the chambers are empty. Apply

one or two drops of oil on the front lateral sides of the hook, the lateral sides

of the lumps and also on the forend iron (FIG.7).Any excess of oil will not only

be unnecessary but also be unadvisable.

5. To fit the barrels into the action frame, hold the pistol grip in the right hand

with the stock under your right arm. Open the top lever with the right thumb.

Using your left hand, grasp the barrel and fit the barrel hook onto the action

frame hinge pins (FIG.8).

6. Holding the hook hard against the hinge pins so as to maintain proper

alignment, rotate the barrel to close the shotgun (FIG.9) and release the top

lever.

place the forend iron in contact with the action frame.(FIG.10).

8. Rotate carefully the forend and press it in contact with the barrel until the

forend catch lever locks with an audible click.

WARNING: During assembly, handle the shotgun gently without forcing at

anytime. If the barrel is not properly engaged into the action frame or if

alignment is incorrect, forcing will only damage the bearing surfaces and

upset the alignment.

Before firing the first shotshell of the day, the bore must be perfectly dry. Pass a

piece of flannel through the barrel before you set off. To load the shotgun, set it to

safe and insert a shotshell into each chamber.
