LOADING AND FIRING

Before loading the shotgun, visually inspect your safety and make sure it

is in the “Safe” position. Never load the shotgun with the safety in the

firing position. Avoid contact with the trigger mechanism while loading

ammunition and at all times prior to firing.

To insert shotshells in the chamber, move the top lever to the right with

the thumb of your firing hand and open the breech. Inspect the cham-

bers and barrel bores to be sure they are free of any obstructions. Insert a

shotshell in each chamber and close the action. Be sure the shotshell

primer and rim is facing rearward when inserting shells in the chamber.

When you close the breech of the action, let the top lever move freely to

its locked position. Do not restrain its travel with your thumb. It is rec-

ommended that the top lever be indexed to the left with slight pressure

to make sure that the bolt is fully closed. (See figure 5).

or of the shotgun bore. Use a cleaning cloth and light gun oil to remove
