WARNING! **YOU RISK PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH BY HANDLING THIS FIREARM** Before handling any firearm, make sure you know the safety procedures and most importantly, keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Before handling this firearm, read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual. Always keep this manual with the firearm. If you lend, give or sell this firearm, be sure the manual goes with it.
Type Of Ammunition To Be Used It is suggested that high quality commercially manufactured ammunition be used in this firearm. Avoid military surplus or old ammunition as it may not fire with sufficient force to expel the projectile or wad from the barrel. The use of reloaded, high pressure or hand-loaded ammunition can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this firearm. Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors near you. All guns are extremely dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is the primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical safety device should never replace safe handling procedures.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall. Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children. Make sure that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will be denied access to your guns and ammunition. Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the firearm is pointed in a safe direction. Know your target and what is beyond.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from the shooter while the shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear ear and eye protection and they should avoid distracting those shooting their firearms. Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function before using it again. Do NOT alter or modify your gun.
Use the Security Lock Provided with your Shotgun This shotgun comes with a security lock to assist in protecting against unauthorized use. See Picture A. The shotgun must be unloaded when the security lock is in place on the shotgun. WARNING: Using the security lock cannot substitute for securing your firearm and ammunition in separate, locked locations. The security lock operates as follows: 1. To open the Trigger Lock put the Key into the notches of the Trigger Lock Nut and unscrew it counterclockwise.
USED FIREARMS - Firearms are sometimes altered to work incorrectly, or parts may be removed, lost or replaced with incorrect parts. If you got your European American Armory Corp. firearm as a used gun, BEFORE USING IT you should take it to a good gunsmith who knows European American Armory Corp. firearms, and have him examine it. WRITE EUROPEAN AMERICAN ARMORY CORP.
any unburned powder grains from the bore, chambers and mechanism before resuming shooting. If the blockage cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith. W A R N I N G (EYE AND EAR PROTECTION) When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times. Shooters and spectators must wear shooting glasses and hearing protection to prevent eye injury and hearing loss. Vision and hearing impairment can occur with only one moment of non-protection.
WARNING Do not touch the trigger(s) while moving the safety. When operating the safety, make sure you push or pull it to the full extent of its travel in the desired direction, either fully “on” or fully “off.” Half-safe or partially-safe is UNSAFE. WARNING The shotgun is designed to and WILL FIRE when the trigger is pulled and the safety mechanism is in the “off” or “fire” position. Top Lever: The top lever is located just forward of the safety mechanism. See Figure 8.
WARNING Never fire a double-trigger shotgun by using two fingers because you may inadvertently pull both triggers at the same time resulting in a near simultaneous firing of both barrels. Use your index finger to pull one of the triggers to fire the first shot. After that shot is fired, release the trigger and move your index finger to the other trigger to fire the second shot.
Directions For Assembly Of Shotgun: WARNING 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 fore end) detached from the receiver assembly.
reattach the fore end to the barrels. Pull outward on the mechanical latch in the center of the fore end and place the fore end on the receiver. With an upward swinging motion, lock the fore end onto the barrels. Do not force the fore end into its locked position on the barrels. If the latch does not go to its final flat position, it may be necessary to push it into place. Never force the latch into the flat position. See Figure 18.
Figure 21. Then close the action by swinging the barrels up until they lock into the receiver and the top lever moves back to the center position. If the top lever does not move to the center, break open the action again and check to see if the shot shells are fully seated in the chambers. If the shells are fully seated, then re-close the action. Figure 21 If the shot shells are not fully seated, check the chambers for blockage and check the shells for deformation and retry closing the action once more.
COCKING AND UNCOCKING YOUR SHOTGUN TO COCK: 1) While keeping your fingers away from the triggers, grab the shotgun firmly with your right hand around the stock’s pistol grip. Place your right thumb on the top of the right hammer. See Figures 23a and 23b. 2) Pull the hammer rearward until it locks in the cocked position. See Figure 24.

Putting a gun together wrong or with modified parts can result in a damaged gun, or personal injury or death to you or others.
H) A gun should be cleaned after firing. In addition, external parts should be wiped with an oiled cloth after handling. A light oil is ordinarily all that is necessary in cleaning if the gun has not been fired or fired very little. If a gun is used frequently, it must be cleaned after each firing and regularly serviced by a professional gunsmith. If the gun has been stored, remove all excess oil and/or grease before firing.
