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. These shot-
shells can disappear from sight down the bore and create a dangerous barrel
obstruction.
WARNING
The WRONG ammunition could destroy your shotgun and cause
serious personal injury or death. If a shotgun shell is in the bore, do
not attempt to shoot it out by using another shotgun shell. This can
generate excessive pressure, damage the firearm and cause serious
personal injury.
3. SIGARMS
™
recommends the use of clean, commercial factory-loaded ammu-
nition. Always use ammunition that complies with the performance standards
established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute,
Inc. of the United States (SAAMI).
The use of shotshell ammunition which is not of standard dimension, proper
gauge or which has not been loaded in accordance with SAAMI specifica-
tions can cause serious personal injury and damage your firearm.
CAUTION: For your safety, the safety of others and to avoid damage to the
gun, beware of barrel obstructions. An obstruction, such as mud, snow, dirt or
other foreign object, can increase pressure and cause damage to your gun and
cause injury to you and to others. Before checking the barrel for an obstruction,
make sure the safety mechanism is “ON”. Open the action and make sure that
the firearm is unloaded. After assuring yourself that the firearm is completely
empty, look through the chambers (do not look down the muzzle). If any
obstruction at all is detected, clean the barrels as described in the “Cleaning and
Lubrication” section of this manual on page 12.
