HOW TO FIRE
With the gun pointed at the intended target, move the
safety to the FIRE position (all the way forward), aim,
and pull the trigger. The selected barrel will fire. To fire
the second barrel, pull the trigger again. If you don’t fire
both shells, be sure to put the safety on SAFE until you
are ready to shoot again.
FIRING SEQUENCE
The safety switch on the tang of your shotgun has a
dual function. In the FULL SAFE POSITION (fully
rearward – see FIGURE 1) the safety button can be
moved to the left and to the right. In this position, the
safety button determines which barrel will fire first when
the trigger is pulled. When the button is moved to the
right (FIGURE 6) a “R” is revealed, which means that
the right barrel has been selected to fire first. If the
trigger is pulled again, the left barrel will then fire.
If the shooter wishes the left barrel to fire first, the
button should be moved to the left, revealing an “L”
(see FIGURE 7).

EXTRACTORS
Stevens GOLD WING SIDE BY SIDE shotguns are
fitted with extractors (see FIGURE 8). When the action
is opened, the extractors will move the shells rearward
enough to be grasped with your fingers and removed
from the chamber.
FIGURE 8
HOW TO UNLOAD THE SHOTGUN
With the safety in SAFE position, and the shotgun
pointed in a safe direction, open the action and
manually remove the unfired shells from the chambers.
The extractors will pull the shells from the chambers
far enough that you can reach and remove them with
your fingers.
Warning
Before placing the shotgun in a vehicle or returning
it to storage, always unload it and visually inspect
the interior of the chambers to make sure that they
are empty.
WHAT TO DO IF SHOTGUN FAILS TO FIRE
1. Misfires: if you squeeze the trigger and the shell
does not fire, remain in the shooting position and
count to 30. Then move the safety switch to SAFE
(see FIGURE 1) and open the action to remove
the misfired shell from the gun.
