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.

ASSEMBLY

1. 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.

2. Before assembling the shotgun, check that the chambers are empty. After having

thoroughly cleaned the external metallic parts, 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. 4).

Any excess of oil will not only be unnecessary but also be suitable.

3. 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.5).

4. Holding the hook hard against the hinge pins so as to maintain proper alignment, rotate the

barrel to close the shotgun ( FIG. 6) and release the top lever.

5. Pull back the forend so that the forend iron comes into contact with the action frame. (FIG.7)

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.

DISASSEMBLY

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.8).

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.

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.

CLEANING

Prior to cleaning the gun, make sure that it is not loaded!

Use and handle your shotgun carefully in order to have many year of trouble free shooting. Take care

of your shotgun by handling it gently and carefully. After each hunting session, clean and oil it.

For the purpose, we recommend the use of only good and ﬁne gun oil.

BARREL: The inside of the barrel must be cleaned and oiled after every session of shooting. For

that purpose, separate the barrel from the action frame.

For the chamber, push a cleaning tool equipped with an oil-soaked ﬂannel patch through the barrel.
