Winchester ammunition is always an excellent choice for
your new Winchester firearm, delivering the unmatched
performance and dependability you want.
USE ONLY THE EXACT AMMUNITION/GAUGE AS LISTED
ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BARREL. WINCHESTER
FIREARMS CAN ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR
INCIDENTS WHICH OCCUR THROUGH THE USE OF
CARTRIDGES OF NONSTANDARD DIMENSION OR THOSE
THAT, WHEN SHOT, DEVELOP PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF
INDUSTRY STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE SPORTING
ARMS AND AMMUNITION MANUFACTURERS’ INSTITUTE
(SAAMI). DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY
VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS, OR
HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE
TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE
BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM AND OTHER
SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS
THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE.
Incorrectly reloaded ammunition can cause serious
personal injury and damage to the firearm due to
excessive pressure. Reload only after proper instruction
and in strict compliance with instructions and data
contained in current reloading manuals.
OPERATION OF THE SAFETY
This shotgun is designed with a cross-bolt-type safety. It is
located just rearward of the trigger on the trigger guard,
and is convenient for gloved or ungloved fingers. It is
essential that you become very familiar with the feel, look
and operation of the safety on this shotgun before
attempting to load and shoot.
The cross-bolt safety prevents the trigger from being
pulled when in the “on safe” position. In the “off safe”
position, if your firearm is loaded with a shell in the
chamber, the chambered shell can be fired by simply
pulling the trigger.
The safety on this shotgun is reversible for right- or
left-handed operation. It comes from the factory in the
right-handed position. Verify the installation of your
firearm’s safety. Instructions in this owner’s manual are
for the safety installed in the right-handed position.
