NOMENCLATURE - RUGER TRAP MODEL SHOTGUN
The BUTTSTOCK is held on the gun
by a long through-bolt, which is
accessible only after the recoil pad
base plate on the end of the buttstock
is removed. It is adjustable for length
of pull from 13 1/2” - 15 1/2”.
The TOP LEVER and its massive pivot are
one integral component directly engaged
with the locking bolt on both opening and
closing motions.
The PISTOL GRIP is finely cut-
checkered and is of special
target style and contour.
The MONOBLOC securely
locks the barrel/rib assembly
into the receiver.
The TRIGGER is set at the
factory at a 3 - 4lb. trigger pull.
This can be adjusted to some
degree. (See pp. 29 - 31)
The TRIGGER GUARD
protects the trigger from
inadvertent contacts
which could cause the
gun to discharge.
The COMB of the stock is
adjustable for height, cast-off,
and cast-on.
The BUTTPAD is screw-
adjustable for “cant”.
The VENT RIB can be
adjusted for height and is
free to float as the barrel
expands.
The special low mounted “controlled
pattern” trap BARREL is hammer
forged stainless steel, back-bored,
with screw-in chokes. (Not seen in
this view)
The finely checkered
beavertail FOREND is
designed to afford a
comfortable grip for the
pointing hand.
