DO NOT CARRY A GUN WITH A SHELL IN THE
CHAMBER TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGE.
UNLOADING PROCEDURES
Perform the following steps to remove shells from the
chamber and magazine on all Model 1300s.
1. Point the muzzle in a safe direction.
2. The safety should be in the “ON SAFE” position (the
red warning band will not be visible).
3. Hold the disconnector release button inward to release
the slide.
4. Slide the forearm through a complete cycle of the
action and repeat the process until all the shells in the
magazine have been transferred to the chamber and then
ejected.
5. When the last shell in the magazine has been cycled
through the chamber and out the ejection port, leave the
action open.
6. Using your index finger, feel the entry of the magazine
to make sure there are no longer any shells unejected.
ALTERNATE WAY TO UNLOAD —
The shells can also be removed from the magazine by
following these steps:
1. Place the safety in the “ON SAFE” position, make sure
the action is closed and keep the muzzle pointing in a safe
direction.
2. Turn the gun over so the trigger guard is facing up, then
push the carrier down as far as it will go.
3. Push inward on the right of the cartridge cutoff releas-
ing the shell from the magazine. Press the cutoff again to
release the second shell. The cartridge cutoff is located on
the inside-right of the ejection port. When a shell is in
the magazine the cutoff rests on the brass of the shell.
4. With the safety still in the “ON SAFE” position, press
the disconnector release button and move the forearm all
the way rearward to remove the shell from the chamber.
