3. Push the top lever all the way to the right and open the gun, pivoting the

muzzle end of the barrel downward and lifting the barrel assembly out of the

receiver as the integral trunnions are disengaged from their corresponding

recesses at the front end of the monobloc.

This completes the takedown required for all normal cleaning and maintenance

purposes. Further disassembly of component parts should only be undertaken by

persons qualified in shotgun repair and is not recommended.

CAUTION: THE RUGER TRAP MODEL SHOTGUN SHOULD NOT

BE FURTHER DISASSEMBLED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

OR CLEANING BY PERSONS UNQUALIFIED IN SHOTGUN

REPAIR. IMPROPER FUNCTIONING AND DAMAGE TO THE

GUN MAY RESULT.

IF THE BUTT STOCK IS REMOVED FROM THE FIREARM, UPON

REASSEMBLY, IT MUST BE RETORQUED TO A MAXIMUM OF 4 FT/LBS.

EXCESSIVE TIGHTENING OF THE STOCK BOLT (PART S-37), MAY

RESULT IN THE STOCK CRACKING.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN THAT THE

CHAMBER OF THE SHOTGUN CONTAINS NO SHELL

REASSEMBLY

See “Assembling the Shotgun”, pp. 11 - 12.

ALWAYS CHECK TO BE SURE THE GUN IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED

BEFORE CLEANING.

1. Take down the gun. (See Disassembly Procedure, p. 22 - 23)

2. Using a proper cleaning rod, run a solvent-wetted patch through the bore and

chamber several times. Then run dry patches through the bore and chamber

to remove all traces of residue.

3. If the bore or chamber is fouled to the extent that the above patch-cleaning

procedure will not remove the lead or plastic residue, then scrub the bore, full

length, with a solvent-wetted brass or nylon bristle brush. When the residue

has been scrubbed loose, clean as described in Step 2, above.

4. The polished surfaces of the monobloc, ejector, and inside surfaces of the

receiver where the monobloc rests should be coated with a very light film of

lubricating oil.

5. Reassemble the gun, and wipe exterior metal surfaces with a sparingly oiled

cloth. Accumulation of oil tends to attract dirt which can interfere with the

safe and reliable function of the gun. Swab the bore with an oily patch before

storing the gun. Do not apply excess oil.
