DISASSEMBLY
1. Make sure the gun is unloaded and no shells are in the chamber.
2. Close the action. Place the gun butt on your thigh and remove the forearm by pulling the forearm release latch or
pressing the forearm release button. While pulling the nose of the forearm away from the barrels, slide the forearm
forward until separated from the barrels.
3. Separate the barrels from the receiver by holding the stock of the gun in your right hand and the barrels in your
left. Push the opening lever to the right with your thumb. Allow the nose of the barrels to drop and lift the barrels
upward out of the receiver.
4. Close the top lever by pressing on the button located in the action (Photo 5).
5. The gun can now be cleaned. The forearm should be reattached to the barrels for storage.
CAUTION: No further disassembly is needed, unless it is done by persons qualified in shotgun repair. Improper
functioning and damage to the gun may result otherwise.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Caution: Make sure the gun in UNLOADED.
1. Make sure the broad, polished finely fitted mating surface of the breech block and receiver is especially clean and
lightly oiled with high quality gun oil. Do not use silicone or lanolin (Do not use WD-40).
2. Run an oil patch through the bore with a cleaning rod starting from the breech end. To prevent leading, use a
cleaning solvent and brass brush to clean the bore periodically. Follow this cleaning with one or two clean oil
patches. Important: If your gun is equipped with choke tubes, do not use a brass brush to clean the barrels without
having a choke tube installed. Barrels that utilize choke tubes must also have the choke tubes removed to clean and
oil the threads inside the barrel and the choke tubes themselves. This will protect the threads and prevent dirt build
up that can cause tubes to become difficult to remove.
Never fire your gun without choke tubes snuggly tightened in barrels. Do not over tighten choke tubes. Wipe all
exposed metal surfaces with an oiled cloth before storing. Do not squirt or pour oil into the inside mechanis m
because it may hamper proper functioning. After extended periods of heavy use, your gun should be taken to a
qualified gunsmith to have the action disassembled for professional cleaning and lubrication.
3. Care for your wood stock and forearm the same way you would a piece of furniture with the same finish.
STORAGE
Clean thoroughly and oil your gun before storage. Store the gun in a case to prevent scratches and dents. Store your
firearm in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Store the gun away from children and in a place where it cannot be
obtained by those unauthorized to use it. Always store gun unloaded and separately from any ammunition.
