decreased recovery time following the first shot. Carbon can build up in the
ports after shooting. To clean them use a good quality powder solvent and
pipe cleaners to scrub away debris.
BARREL PORTING INCREASES NOISE AND MUZZLE BLAST.
ALWAYS WEAR HEARING PROTECTION, AND INSTRUCT
BYSTANDERS TO WEAR HEARING PROTECTION, TO PREVENT
HEARING LOSS OR DAMAGE.
22. CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
BEFORE PERFORMING CLEANING PROCEDURES, PLACE
THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. OPEN THE
ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR SHOTGUN IS COMPLETELY
UNLOADED. KEEP THE MUZZLES POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DISASSEMBLING AND
CLEANING YOUR SHOTGUN TO PREVENT SPRINGS,
SPRING-LOADED PARTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS
FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY.
KEEP ALL AMMUNITION AWAY FROM THE CLEANING AREA.
NEVER TEST THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF YOUR SHOTGUN
WITH LIVE AMMUNITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
22.1. CLEANING PROCEDURES
Your 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
9. Replace the cheekpiece onto the studs. If drop at comb has already
been set to your desired height, tighten the two comb retaining
screws securely.
If drop has not been set, leave the retaining screws loose and proceed to
“Adjusting Drop at Comb.”
20.2. ADJUSTING DROP AT COMB
Adjusting the drop at the comb allows you to align your eye perfectly with
the plane of the rib.
The drop measurement is determined by measuring the distance between
the plane formed by the top of the rib and the top of the cheekpiece itself.
The higher the cheekpiece, the lower the drop. To set drop, perform
the following:
1. Loosen the two stock adjustment set screws on the right side of the
cheekpiece (if they were not left loose after setting the cast) using a
3mm hex (Allen) wrench. The cheekpiece will now move freely, up and
down on the stock adjustment studs.
2. Position the cheekpiece on the studs at the desired drop up or down
on the stock. Make sure the adjustment on each stud is equal up and
down. When you have determined a possible setting, lightly tighten
the stock adjustment screws and then shoulder the firearm to test the
setting. Drop adjustments are a matter of trial and error. Adjust a
little at a time until you obtain the desired sight picture on the rib.
3. Once your desired drop at comb is obtained, secure the cheekpiece in
place by tightening the two stock adjustment set screws on the right
side of the cheekpiece. Drop is now set on your shotgun.
21. BARREL PORTING
The SC 1 features ported barrels that reduce recoil and muzzle jump.
Reducing recoil not only increases comfort when shooting, but increases
accuracy because it is easier to pick-up the second clay target faster due to
