21.1. CLEANING THE BARREL
Your P-12 shotgun will function better and more reliably over a longer
period of time if it is properly maintained and kept clean. You should clean
your P-12 shotgun after every day of shooting, and more often if it becomes
excessively dirty. The barrel should be cleaned and the action wiped clean
and oiled after every day of shooting.
20. BASIC REASSEMBLY
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES,
VISUALLY INSPECT THE CHAMBER TO BE ABSOLUTELY
CERTAIN THE FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. PLACE
THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
To perform a basic reassembly of your P-12 shotgun complete the
following operations.
1. Remove the barrel and receiver/stock section.
2. Unscrew the magazine cap from the magazine tube.
3. Your shotgun should have the bolt assembly in the closed position
(forward), with the trigger assembly already in place in the receiver.
The barrel can be installed with the action closed, but it is easier if the
action has been opened slightly.
4. Unlock and open the action by pushing up on the disconnector release
button at the rear of the trigger guard on the left side and pulling back
on the forearm.
5. Grasp the barrel ahead of the barrel bracket.
6. Position the barrel over and in line with the magazine tube.
7. Slide the barrel rearward.
8. Guide the barrel bracket over the magazine tube and guide the barrel
extension into the receiver. Be sure that the slot in the barrel aligns
with the ejector. As a guide in assembly, align the rib on the barrel
assembly with the grooves on the top of the receiver.
