SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR

RUGER TRAP MODEL SHOTGUN

The RUGER

TRAP MODEL SHOTGUN embodies many specialized

adjustments demanded by participants in the demanding sport of clay target trap

shooting. These adjustments are not found on other Ruger shotguns intended for

hunting, sporting clays, and other field shooting activities. DO NOT MAKE ANY

ADJUSTMENTS ON A LOADED GUN!

RIB ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the height of the rib, open the action, unload the shotgun, and loosen

the Torx

clamp screw on the front barrel band and the two clamp screws on the

middle band. Turn the gear wheel using the Torx

key wrench – clockwise to

raise the rib and counter-clockwise to lower the rib. As the rib is raised, the shot

pattern will lower; as the rib is lowered, the pattern impacts higher. After each

adjustment, be sure to securely tighten the clamp screws before firing. Check

pattern height again and readjust if necessary, following the above steps. The rib

is adjustable for up to 3/8” of height change, which will accomodate most shot

pattern placement preferences.
