The Forend: The forend is the wooden grip piece
which attaches to the barrel assembly and locks the
barrel assembly into the receiver. See Figure 20.
The forend has a mechanical latch which is used to
lock and unlock the forend to the barrel assembly.
Never attempt to fire your shotgun without having
the forend locked in its proper position on the barrel
assembly.
The Serial Number: The shotgun’s serial number is located on the top of the
receiver underneath the top lever.
DIRECTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY OF SHOTGUN:
W A R N I N G
Before you begin to assemble the shotgun, you MUST (1) look down the barrels
from the breech end toward the muzzle end to make sure there is no ammunition
in the chambers or obstructions in the barrels, and (2) make sure the safety is in
the “safe” position.
Your shotgun was shipped with the barrel assembly (barrels and forend) detached
from the receiver assembly. To assemble the shotgun, follow these instructions:
1) Remove the plastic bags or wrapping covering
the parts. Then remove the forend from the barrel
by pulling outward on the mechanical lever in the
lower midsection of the forend and tipping the forend
out and away from the barrel. See Figure 21.
2) Now push the top lever of the receiver to the right
and hold with one hand. Do not force the top lever.
See Figure 22.
3) Holding the barrels with other hand, engage the
lower locking lug located on the lower portion of the
barrels with the receiver. The half-round cut out on
the lower locking lug fits around the round bar in the
forward lower portion of the slot in the receiver. With
the barrels engaged into the receiver, swing the barrels up into the locked position.
The top lever should move back to the center once the barrels are locked into
position. Note: The top lever may not move completely to the center on a new
shotgun until the gun is broken in. The top lever must move at least three
