3. To Attach the Barrel Assembly to
the Receiver:
Hold the stock by the pistol grip in
one hand as shown in Figure 3.
Make sure the top lever is opened
to the right in order to accept the
barrel assembly. Hold the barrel
assembly (without
the forend) in
the other hand and engage the
integral trunnions in the receiver
with the corresponding recesses at
the front end of the monobloc. Be
sure the small lug (indicated by
the arrow in “A” in Figure 3) on the outer surfaces of the ejector engages its
corresponding slot inside the front end of the receiver BEFORE CLOSING
THE GUN! The foregoing caution must be followed or the receiver will be
damaged by the ejector as the gun is closed.
