HOW TO TAKE DOWN THE BARREL
1. Open the action and make sure the gun is not loaded.
2. Close the action and place the safety in the
“ON SAFE” position.
3. Unscrew and remove the magazine cap. Remember,
always keep the end of the magazine pointed in a safe
direction.
4. Slide the barrel forward withdrawing the barrel from
the receiver and disengaging the magazine bracket from
the front end of the magazine.
5. Immediately screw the magazine cap back onto the
magazine.
HOW TO REMOVE THE TRIGGER GUARD GROUP FROM
THE RECEIVER
Removing the trigger guard group is another necessary
procedure in performing thorough maintenance of your
shotgun. It is easy to do, and removing it allows you to
perform cleaning and maintenance whenever and wher-
ever required. Make sure the gun is unloaded. With both
the trigger guard group and bolt assembly removed, it is
easy to wipe out any debris or moisture that sometimes
accumulates in the receiver. The trigger guard group
should be removed before you attempt to remove the bolt
assembly. The action should be cycled by sliding the fore-
arm forward and then rearward. This puts the hammer in
the cocked position. Place the safety in the “ON SAFE”
position.
1. If the barrel assembly has been removed, always be sure
to replace the magazine cap on the end of the magazine
tube to prevent accidental disengagement of the magazine
spring retainer.
2. Place your gun with the trigger guard facing up, on a
suitable surface that will protect the receiver finish and
stock.
3. Remove the trigger guard pin by pushing it out from
the LEFT side of the receiver, side opposite the ejection
port. Any sturdy pushing tool that is smaller in diameter
than the pin, and that will not mar the finish, is accept-
able. Make sure you can maintain a good grip on the
pushing tool and on your shotgun while you push.
4. Push the pin through sufficiently until it can be grasped
with your fingers. Pull it the rest of the way out. If it can-
not be removed with fingers, make sure your pushing tool
or punch has a diameter small enough so that it will push
the pin completely through without the tool damaging
the hole.
5. With the pin removed, lift the trigger guard group out
of the receiver by lifting upward and pulling rearward.
