Take-Down Instructions
If you wish to take-down your shotgun for
transport or storage, proceed as follows:
1. Place the safety switch on SAFE.
2. Make sure the shotgun is unloaded.
3. In the center of the underside of the
forearm stock, there is a release lever
located in an oval depression in the wood
(see I). To remove the forearm, pull the
release lever toward the rear of the gun
while pulling the front end of the forearm
away from the barrels. With the forearm
removed, move the top lever to the right
and open the action. The barrels may
then be lifted away from the action.
4. Reassemble in reverse order. It is not
necessary to pull the release lever when
re-installing the forearm. Place the rear
end of the forearm in position, then push
the forearm toward the barrels. It should
snap easily into place. Do not use exces-
sive force.
NOTE: Further disassembly of your shot-
gun is not recommended, and should be
done by an authorized gunsmith.
During freezing conditions, oil may con-
geal and cause sluggish operation of
your gun. It is recommended that only a
very thin coat of light oil be used in these
conditions.
Condensation droplets of water will form
soon after a cold firearm is brought into a
warm room. The gun may also become
wet during inclement weather. In these
cases, all moisture should be removed
immediately to avoid the formation of rust.
Exterior metal finish may be wiped down
with a lightly oiled cloth.
For long term storage, lightly oil the bore,
barrel and action with gun oil. Your
firearm should be completely unloaded
and stored in a dry area. Never store your
firearm in a carrying case.
Use of Steel Shot
•WARNING: Steel shot is substantially
harder than lead shot. It is enclosed in a
plastic wad in most reputable shotshells
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 bar-
rel 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
shot in your shotgun. Use of an
Improved Modified or Full choke when
firing steel shot will void your warranty.
