Manual

using your shotgun, clean the anti-rust compound from

the inside of the barrel, receiver, bolt mechanism and the

action/chamber areas. A high quality, lightweight gun oil

should be used to remove this compound and to give your

new firearm its first lubrication. Clean the barrel using a

cleaning rod and patch as explained under “Cleaning and

Maintenance Suggestions” found on page 33 in this

owner’s manual.

If your new shotgun is to be stored for an extended period

of time, it is permissible to leave the rust preventative

compound in place and keep your shotgun in its box for

maximum protection during long-term storage.

Before beginning assembly of your shotgun, you should first

wipe the mechanism clean and apply a few drops of quality

oil to the rails on which the bolt slides. These are found

inside the receiver (Figure 2). Avoid applying too much oil.

Only a light film is necessary. Excessive oil should be wiped

off, especially in cold weather.

CLEANING PARTS WITH SPECIAL FINISHES —

Be especially careful when cleaning firearms with

camouflage, Dura-Touch

Armor Coating and other

special finishes. Always prevent these surfaces from

coming in contact with cleaning solvents, barrel

scrubbers and other strong chemicals. It is preferable to

clean these surfaces with a light gun oil containing no

solvents or with a damp cloth and mild dish soap (be sure

to keep water out of the action). When cleaning your

firearm’s bore and action, protect the external finishes

from any contact with chemicals used. Also, avoid any

contact between external finishes and other strong

chemicals like those found in DEET-containing insect

repellents, sunscreens, etc. Damage to camouflage,

Dura-Touch and other finishes caused by chemicals is

irreversible and unrepairable.

AMMUNITION

There are two basic versions of this shotgun, those with a

⁄2" chamber and those with a 3" chamber. This

information can be found inscribed on the barrel.

the receiver at these points.
