5. Slide the gas piston into the gas bracket (Figure 19, page 38).
6. Align the gas bracket and gas piston over the magazine tube
(Figure 20, page 38). Slide the gas bracket and gas piston over the
magazine tube. The barrel extension should slip solidly down into the
receiver. Make sure the push rod moves freely in its slot in the receiver.
7. Replace the forearm by sliding it onto the magazine tube and over the
gas bracket so it seats securely. Slide the magazine sleeve over the
magazine tube with the tab on the bottom of the magazine. The tab
locks into the forearm. Install the magazine cap finger tight. Open and
close the action several times and
retighten the magazine cap to
ensure it is snug.

THE ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR SHOTGUN IS
COMPLETELY UNLOADED. KEEP THE MUZZLE 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.
23.1. CLEANING THE BARREL
The SLP 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 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. The gas system should require only
occasional cleaning.
