USE OF STEEL SHOTS
only for Steel-shot proofed guns, stamped with the French Lily symbol on the barrel (see Picture 1)
Warning
Steel shots are substantially harder than lead shots. They are enclosed in a plastic wad to help protect the barrel from scoring by
the hard steel shot. However, when the steel shot charge passes through the choke constriction in the barrel, the barrel or screw-in
choke may be damaged if a tightly constricted choke is in place. For that reason, we strongly recommend that a choke of no greater
constriction than Modified (***) be used when firing steel shots. Use of an Improved Modified (**) or Full (*) choke when firing steel
shots will void your warranty.
INTERCHANGEABLE CHOKES
The interchangeable choke system allows you to match the choke of your gun to expected shooting conditions, or to quickly change
the choke when you need to adapt the gun to different conditions at the range or in the field.
Shotguns 12-16-20-28-410 gauge come equipped with three or five different interchangeable screw-in or extended chokes,
depending on model. Each choke set also includes a choke wrench to facilitate switching of chokes. We recommend that a thin
coating of light gun grease be applied to the threads of chokes before they are installed in the barrel.
CHOKE SELECTION BY "TOUCH"
A unique notching system allows to be easily identified in minimal light conditions, as shown in the following chart:
Warning
Always unload your shogun and open the action before changing chokes. NEVER fire your shotgun without a choke installed as doing
so may damage the threads and/or the barrels. Always make sure the choke is firmly screwed into the barrel, but do not overtighten.
Never use a choke that is bent or out-of round.
