Manual

bore if (assuming the trigger has been pulled with a live shotshell in the
chamber) the shotshell contains no powder, or the powder fails to ignite,
and only the primer charge ignites, resulting in insufficient force to pro-
pel the wad or shot column out of the bore. Whenever an obstruction
occurs, keep the muzzle of the shotgun pointing in a safe direction and
proceed as follows:
• Any shotshells should be removed.
• Insert a proper size cleaning rod (without a tip or brush) into the bore
from the muzzle and remove the obstruction. If the obstruction does not
readily dislodge, it may be necessary to lightly tap the handle end of the
cleaning rod. Do not attempt to remove an obstruction using a blank
shotshell, or a shotshell from which the shot or projectile has been
removed, or by any other means other than the use of a cleaning rod.
Be certain all loose powder has been removed from the bore and action
before inserting the rod. If you are unable to remove the obstruction,
take the shotgun to the nearest repair facility, or call GSI Inc., 108
Morrow Avenue, P.O. Box 129, Trussville, Alabama 35173, Tel. (205)
655-8299.
• After removing the obstruction, reinspect the bore to be certain it is
free of powder particles or other debris. Clean the mechanism of
unburned powder grains.
REMEMBER! ALWAYS CHECK THE BORE FOR AN OBSTRUC-
TION IF YOU EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN CHAMBERING A
SHOTSHELL, EXPERIENCE A FAILURE TO EXTRACT, HAVE A
MISFIRE, OR THE SHOTGUN DOES NOT MAKE A NORMAL
LOUD REPORT ON FIRING. A MISFIRE OR UNUSUAL
REPORT IS ALWAYS A SIGNAL TO CEASE FIRING. FOLLOW-
ING A MISFIRE OR AN UNUSUAL REPORT, KEEP THE MUZ-
ZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES BEFORE UNLOADING THE CHAMBER AND EXAMIN-
ING THE BORE OF THE SHOTGUN.
WARNING! IF A LOADED SHOTSHELL IS LODGED IN THE
CHAMBER, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE A LODGED
SHOTSHELL BY USING A CLEANING ROD. TAKE THE
SHOTGUN TO THE NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY, OR CALL
GSI, Inc., 108 Morrow Avenue, P.O. Box 129, Trussville,
Alabama 35173, Tel. [phone].
