Important The safest shotgun is one that is fully unloaded. This means that the safety is in the rearward (safe) position, the action is open, and the chambers have been checked visually to insure that a shotshell is NOT present. The Commandments of Firearms Safety ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. ALWAYS be sure the gun is safe to operate and the barrel is clear of any obstruction.
General Description The Aurora Series has been designed specifically to meet the stringent requirements of the hunting and shooting sports when used with ammunition of the correct gauge, length and pressure levels. It features a boxlock action secured by a strong underbolt that is released by the top lever. Completely opening the action cocks the hammers and causes the automatic ejectors to eject empty, fired shells.
Ammunition (continued) 1. Use only ammunition of the proper gauge and shell length. The TR models in 12 gauge, 20 gauge & .410 bore accept either 2-3/4” or 3” shells. The TR .28 gauge and TT models in 12 and 20 gauge accept 2-3/4” shells ONLY. WARNING DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to use a longer shell than that listed for your model. Serious personal injury may result. 2. DO NOT load shotshells that are smaller than the chamber rating.
Assembly and Disassembly WARNING Be sure to wear eye protection prior to performing any assembly or disassembly. Before assembly, be sure to clean all parts of any visible debris or dirt. After wiping the mechanism clean, place a thin film of a quality highpressure gun grease on the following surfaces (See Figures 1A, 1B, and 1C): Figure 1A 1A) The forearm bracket. 1B) Barrel lug, hinge pin bearing surface and ejector slide. 1C) Hinge pin, cocking lever and locking bolt.
To Assemble Attaching the barrel to the frame: 1. Grasp the butt stock at the pistol grip and push the top lever to the right until it locks, with your thumb. (See Figure 1.) 2. Grasp the barrel assembly and align it parallel to the action with the muzzle end pointed downward at an approximate 45-degree angle. 3. Insert the barrel monoblock into the frame so that the circular pivot pin recesses engage the circular pivot pins at the front of the frame. (See Figure 2.) Figure 1 4.
Attaching the forend: 1. Hold the shotgun at the pistol grip, take the forend and slide the rear, semi-circular end into and against the matching curved section of the frame. (See Figure 4.) 2. Applying rearward pressure and pressing in the forend release button, push the forend upward against the barrels until the forend release button snaps outward into the locked position. (See Figure 5.) Figure 4 Figure 5 To Disassemble 1.
Manual Safety Operation 1. The safety mechanism on your Aurora Series shotgun functions as both a safety and barrel selector. It is located on the action tang immediately in back of the top lever. 2. To engage the safety mechanism, place your thumb on the safety and move it rearward towards the butt. When it is in the correct, “safe” position, you will see the letter “S” fully exposed on the tang directly in front Figure 6 of the top edge of the safety. (See Figure 6.
Proper Use of Interchangeable Chokes 1. Your Aurora Series shotgun is equipped with five interchangeable choke tubes, and wrench: full (1), improved modified (2), modified (3), improved cylinder (4) and cylinder (0) choke constrictions. (See Figure 7.) These choke constrictions can be identified by the notches on their exposed ends. The number in paren-theses after each choke designation above indicates the number of notches identifying that constriction.
Normal Operation Before attempting to shoot your Aurora Series shotgun, be sure that it is correctly assembled, that choke tubes are correctly and snugly installed, and the barrel is free of obstructions. Loading: 1. To load your Aurora Series shotgun , set the safety switch to “ON” (SAFE) and set the barrel selector button to the barrel you wish to fire first. 2. Unlock the action by pushing the top lever to the right and open it by putting downward pressure on the barrels. 3.
Maintenance Your Aurora Series shotgun represents a wise investment in an extremely high quality, finely-crafted shooting companion. Regular, routine maintenance procedures will help protect and preserve that investment for a lifetime of pleasurable, reliable use. Firearms maintenance is your responsibility. Cleaning and Lubrication Be sure your gun is unloaded! After each use, your Aurora Series shotgun should be disassembled, cleaned and re-lubricated before being returned to its storage place.
2. Periodically remove and clean the choke tubes. Place a light film of gun grease on the threads. Clean the internal threads with the nylon thread-cleaning end of the choke tube wrench. 3. Remove any residue from the exposed monoblock section including pivot pin recesses and the ejector assembly. Then lightly coat these parts with a quality gun oil preservative, wiping off any excess with a clean cloth. 4. Place a thin film of high-pressure gun grease on the inside of the pivot pin recesses. 5.
