DRILLINGS
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Merkel Drillings differ from side-by-side shotguns in that in addition to two
side-by-side shotgun barrels there is a rifle barrel centered directly under the
two shotgun barrels.
OPERATION OF THE DRILLING "SAFETY" MECHANISM
There are three positions: 1. Safe 2. Fire for Shotgun barrels 3. Fire for
Rifle barrel and left Shotgun barrel.
ATTENTION-MANUAL SAFETY MECHANISM!
THE SAFETY PROVIDED ON MERKEL DRILLINGS IS MANUALLY
OPERATED AND DOES NOT OPERATE AUTOMATICALLY. THE
SHOOTER MUST MANUALLY MOVE THE SAFETY TO BOTH ITS
SAFE AND FIRE POSITIONS. FAILURE TO MANUALLY MOVE THE
SAFETY TO ITS DESIRED POSITION COULD CAUSE AN
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE!

by the safety selector). The trigger sears are blocked for the shotgun and
rifle barrels.
Position 2 - The safety slide is indexed forward by depressing the the
safety button on the safety slide and pushing the safety slide forward
