screwdriver into each of the two access holes. Make
certain the tip of the screwdriver engages the head of
the screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise until the
screw is completely loose from the stock. When both
screws are free, remove the recoil pad.

remove the stock bolt nut and stock bolt washer.

4. Completely remove the buttstock from the receiver,
along with the existing shim, and install the shim you
have selected. Make certain you have the proper shim
installed and in the proper position before reattaching
the buttstock and recoil pad (Figure 19).
5. When you are satisfied with the fit, reattach the
buttstock to the receiver with the washer and the nut.

not overtighten.
7. Attach the recoil pad with care, so as not to scratch or
mar the finish of the stock.
USE OF EXTRA BARRELS
The versatility of your new shotgun can be extended with
an extra barrel. All shotgun barrels are interchangeable
within a given gauge and chamber length. No special
fitting is required.
Some important restrictions must be observed:
• Never use a barrel with a 3
1
⁄2" chamber on a shotgun
designed for barrels with a 3" chamber.
• Never use a barrel with a 3" chamber on a shotgun
designed for barrels with a 3
1
⁄2" chamber.
• Never use a rifled barrel on a shotgun that was designed
for non-rifled barrels.
• Never use any other barrel from any other manufacturer
on your shotgun. Some other brands may seem similar,
but the barrels are not interchangeable.
• Never use any barrel from other Winchester shotguns,
including those for the Super X
®
Model 1 or Super X
®
2.

with a cantilever scope base. If your shotgun has a
cantilever mount, follow the mounting instructions
supplied with your scope rings and/or scope. If your
