Manual

CAUTION: AFTER THE BARREL HAS BEEN REMOVED
FROM YOUR FIREARM, AND YOU INTEND TO STORE YOUR
FIREARM, LEAVE THE BOLT IN THE OPEN POSITION. DO
NOT PRESS THE CARRIER RELEASE BUTTON. IF THE BOLT
IS RELEASED FORWARD WITH THE BARREL REMOVED,
THE OPERATING HANDLE WILL HIT THE FRONT OF THE
EJECTION PORT AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO BOTH THE
RECEIVER AND THE OPERATING HANDLE.
MAGAZINE CAPACITY
It is extremely important that you know the magazine
capacity of your shotgun. It is listed on the hang tag
supplied with your shotgun. Under appropriate
circumstances — at a range or other suitable shooting
location — load your magazine to full capacity and make
note of the number of shells. Remember, “total capacity”
includes an additional shell which can be loaded manually
in the chamber in addition to a full magazine. Total
capacity is generally (magazine, plus chamber)
as follows:
•
3
1
⁄2" Models —
3" and 3
1
⁄2" magnum shells: three in magazine,
one in chamber. 2
3
⁄4” shells: four in magazine,
one in chamber.
•
3" Models —
3" magnum loads: three in magazine, one in chamber.
2
3
⁄4" shells: four in magazine, one in chamber.
•
With Magazine Three-Shot Adapter
(Plug) Installed —
Two shells in magazine, one in chamber.
IMPORTANT: Because 3" and 3
1
⁄2" shotguns can
handle mixed shells of different lengths, total capacity
may be affected.
LOADING
There are two ways to load the chamber of your shotgun.
Use the correct ammunition referenced by the inscription
on the barrel. Before loading your shotgun, make sure of
the following:
• Be sure all grease and oil have been removed from the
barrel and chamber and there are no obstructions.
• Your shotgun is pointed in a safe direction.
• The safety is in the “on safe” position.
• You are in an appropriate location for shooting.
• Shooting is imminent.
