until the fired shell is ejected out of the ejection port.
6. Push the forearm completely forward, transferring a new shell from the
magazine into the chamber. Your P-12 shotgun is again ready to fire.
Immediately put the “safety” in the on safe position (with the red
warning band hidden) until you are ready to fire again.
If you are done shooting, leave the bolt locked to the rear, with the
breech in the open position so that you may visually inspect the
chamber, bore, carrier and magazine to be sure they contain no shells.
AFTER FIRING, OR WHEN SHOOTING IS NO LONGER
IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE
ON SAFE POSITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
EVEN WITH THE BOLT LOCKED OPEN AFTER SHOOTING, DO
NOT ASSUME THE SHOTGUN IS UNLOADED. ALWAYS
INSPECT THE CHAMBER, FEED MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE
TO BE CERTAIN THE SHOTGUN IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WHEN UNLOADING YOUR SHOTGUN ALWAYS PLACE THE
“SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. KEEP THE MUZZLE
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND YOUR FINGERS AWAY
FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, FEED MECHANISM AND
MAGAZINE CAREFULLY AFTER UNLOADING TO BE SURE ALL
LIVE SHELLS ARE CLEARED FROM THE FIREARM.
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CLEAR OF THE EJECTION PORT
WHENEVER CLOSING THE ACTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
THE SHOTGUN IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY SIMPLY
MOVING THE “SAFETY” TO THE OFF SAFE POSITION AND
PULLING THE TRIGGER.
4. With a shell in the chamber, you may now load the magazine to full
capacity. To load the magazine, insert a shell of the proper gauge
and length through the loading port at the bottom of the receiver up
into the magazine, using your thumb to position it fully forward in the
magazine tube. Make sure the rim of the shell engages the shell stop
and is held fully inside the magazine tube. It will make an audible
click when fully inserted.

NEVER LOAD A SHELL INTO THE CHAMBER OR PLACE THE
“SAFETY” IN THE OFF SAFE POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING
IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS

3. With a shell in the chamber, you need only move the “safety” to the off
safe position to fire the shotgun.
