Manual

INITIAL ASSEMBLY

Remove the barrel assembly and receiver/stock section

from the carton. Be sure you have wiped them clean and

oiled them. Unscrew the magazine cap from the magazine

tube. Because the magazine spring is held in place by a fric-

tion-type magazine spring retainer always be careful with

which direction the end of the magazine is pointed.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MAGAZINE POINTING

AWAY FROM YOU AND OTHERS WHEN

REMOVING THE MAGAZINE CAP.

Your shotgun will usually come out of the box with the

bolt assembly in the closed position (forward) with the

trigger assembly already in place in the receiver. The barrel

can be assembled with the action closed, but it is usually

much easier if the action has been opened slightly.

To unlock the action and then open the action — without

pulling the trigger — push up on the disconnector release

button at rear of the trigger guard (see Figure 5) on the left

side and pull back on the forearm. Do this then:

1. Grasp the barrel ahead of the magazine tube bracket.

2. Position the barrel over and in line with the magazine

tube.

3. Slide the barrel rearward.

4. Guide the magazine tube bracket over the end of the

magazine tube and guide the barrel extension into the

receiver. Be sure that the slot in the barrel aligns with the

ejector. As a guide in assembly, align the rib on the barrel

assembly with the grooves on the top of the receiver

5. Slide the barrel rearward until it seats in the receiver.

6. Immediately replace the magazine cap and tighten it

hand tight at least 3 threads.

TAKING DOWN THE BARREL

1. Depress the disconnector release button, found behind

the trigger guard on the left side, to unlock the action

without releasing the hammer.

Press the disconnector

release button to unlock
