FIRING A SINGLE SHOT —
1. Place the safety in the “on safe” position.
2. Open the action by pulling back fully on the operating
handle. The bolt will lock in the rearward position.
Always verify that the magazine and chamber contain
no shells when the action is opened.
3. A shell can now be placed directly into the ejection port
(Figure 9).
4. Press the carrier release button located just below the
ejection port. This will automatically move the shell
placed in the ejection port into the chamber. Keep your
fingers clear of the ejection port when closing the action
with the carrier release button.
IMPORTANT: THE FIREARM IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY
MOVING THE SAFETY TO THE “OFF SAFE” POSITION AND
PULLING THE TRIGGER. DO NOT CARRY A FIREARM WITH
A SHELL IN THE CHAMBER TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGE. IN ALL CASES, WHEN LOADING AND WHEN
FIRING IS NO LONGER IMMINENT, MAKE SURE THE
SAFETY IS IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.
After firing with an empty magazine, the bolt will lock
rearward, ready for inserting the next shell into the open
ejection port.
LOADING THE MAGAZINE —
1. Place the safety in the “on safe” position and close the
action by pressing the carrier release button.
2. With your thumb on the base of the shell, push the shell
through the loading port at the bottom of the receiver
