Manual
4. You may fire until the magazine is empty. The bolt will
lock open after the last shot has been fed from the
magazine, fired and ejected. When the bolt locks open
this usually indicates that both the magazine and
chamber are empty, and that your shotgun magazine
needs to be reloaded. It is important to treat your
firearm as though it is loaded, even if the action has
locked open. At this point either reload the magazine
(if shooting is going to continue) or fully unload your
shotgun (if shooting is completed). Either way, place
the safety in the “on safe” position.
WHEN FIRING IS COMPLETED OR WHEN SHOOTING
IS NO LONGER IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY RETURN
THE SAFETY TO THE “ON SAFE” POSITION. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU MOVE ON OR
CONTINUE TO HUNT WITH THE SAFETY IN THE
“OFF SAFE” POSITION.
UNLOADING
WHEN UNLOADING YOUR SHOTGUN, POINT THE

ejection port, the action should lock rearward
IMPORTANT: AFTER UNLOADING ALWAYS VISUALLY
INSPECT THE CHAMBER TO BE CERTAIN THAT YOUR
SHOTGUN IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED.
IN THE CASE OF A MISFIRE
Only rarely will modern factory ammunition experience a
misfire. If this ever happens to you when shooting your
shotgun, please follow these instructions carefully.
CAUTION: IN CASE OF MISFIRE, KEEP THE BARREL
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, CAREFULLY OPEN
THE ACTION WHILE AVOIDING DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE
BREECH BY YOURSELF AND OTHERS. REMOVE
THE SHELL FROM THE CHAMBER. PLACE THE SAFETY IN
THE “ON SAFE” POSITION AND COMPLETELY UNLOAD
YOUR SHOTGUN, REMOVING ALL SHELLS FROM THE
MAGAZINE.
Carefully inspect the ejected shell. If the primer is
indented, the shell should be disposed of in a manner that
would prevent accidental injury to you, others, or the
