3.
Firearms may be severely damaged
and serious injury to the shooter or to oth-
ers may result from any condition causing
excessive pressure inside the chamber or
barrel during firing. Excessive pressure
can be caused by obstructions in the bar-
rel, propellant powder overloads, or by the
use of the incorrect cartridges or defec-
tively assembled cartridges. In addition,
the use of a dirty, corroded, or damaged
cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge
case and consequent damage to the
firearm and personal injury from the sud-
den escape of high-pressure propellant
gas from the firearm’s mechanism.
4.
Immediately stop shooting and check
the barrel for a possible obstruction when-
ever:
•
You have difficulty in, or feel unusual
resistance in, chambering a cartridge, or
•
A cartridge misfires (does not go off), or
•
The mechanism fails to extract a fired
cartridge case, or
•
Unburned grains of propellant powder
are discovered spilled in the mechanism,
or
•
A shot sounds weak or abnormal. In
such cases, it is possible that a wad is
lodged part way down the barrel. Firing a
subsequent shot charge into the
obstructed barrel can damage the
firearm and cause serious injury to the
shooter or to bystanders.
5.
If there is any reason to suspect that
something is obstructing the barrel (this
can be anything – dirt, mud, snow, sand,
water, a wad, etc.), immediately unload
the firearm and look through both bores. It
is not sufficient to merely look in the
chambers. An obstruction may be lodged
some distance down the barrel, where it
can not easily be seen.
IF SOMETHING IS IN THE BORE, DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY
USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY
BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A
SHELL FROM WHICH THE SHOT HAS
BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES
CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRES-
SURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
6.
Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter
on a cartridge can impede complete
chambering and may cause the cartridge
case to burst upon firing. The same is true
of cartridges which are damaged or
deformed.
1.
Use only high quality, original, factory-
manufactured shotgun shells. Do not use
cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded,
malformed or damaged. Do not oil car-
tridges or spray aerosol type lubricants,
preservatives or cleaners directly onto
cartridges or where excess spray may
flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant
or other foreign matter on cartridges can
cause potentially dangerous ammunition
malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the
gauge or caliber for which your firearm is
chambered.
2.
The use of reloaded, “remanufactured,”
handloaded, or other non-standard
ammunition voids all warranties.
Improperly loaded ammunition voids all
warranties. Improperly loaded ammunition
can be extremely dangerous. Severe
damage to the firearm and serious injury
to the shooter or to others may result.
Always use ammunition that complies
with the industry performance standards
established by the Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc.
of the United States (SAAMI), or the
equivalent from other countries.

7.
Do not oil cartridges and be sure to
wipe the chamber clean of any oil or
preservative before commencing to shoot.
Oil interferes with the friction between car-
tridge case and chamber wall that is nec-
essary for safe functioning, and subjects
the firearm to stress similar to that
imposed by excessive pressure.
8.
Use lubricants sparingly on the moving
parts of your firearm. Avoid excessive
spraying of any aerosol gun care product,
especially where it may get on ammuni-
tion. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubri-
cants in particular, can penetrate cartridge
primers and cause misfires. Some highly
penetrative lubricants can also migrate
inside shell cases and cause deterioration
of the propellant powder; on firing, the
powder may not ignite. If only the primer
ignites, there is danger that the wad may
become lodged in the barrel.
•WARNING: Discharging firearms in
poorly ventilated areas, cleaning
firearms, or handling ammunition may
result in exposure to lead and other sub-
stances known to cause birth defects,
reproductive harm, and other serious
physical injury. Have adequate ventila-
tion at all times. Wash hands thoroughly
after exposure.
Assembly
How to Operate the Safety
In order to attach the barrels to the receiv-
er, the ejectors must be positioned out of
the chambers (see A). To accomplish this,
push the forward end of the ejectors rear-
ward with a screwdriver (see B), and
mount the barrels and forearm.
Prior to firing, know and understand the
operation of the safety by practicing with
the shotgun unloaded.
The safety is a rectangular switch located
on the tang of the action, directly behind
the top lever of the shotgun, which slides
forward and backward. When the switch is
at the rear end of its travel, the letter
“S”appears immediately in front of the
switch (see C). This means the shotgun
will not fire when the trigger is pulled.
When the switch is in its forward-most
position, the “S” is covered. This means
the shotgun is NOT ON SAFE and will fire
when the trigger is pulled (see D).

the FIRE position. The only time the safe-

when you intend to shoot.
•WARNING: Never disassemble the
safety mechanism. It has been correctly
designed, fitted and tested. Any
mechanical device can fail, however, so
never rely on the safety to justify care-
less handling. Never use a firearm with
a safety that does not function properly.

How to Load
• WARNING: Never attempt to load your
shotgun with ammunition that does not
meet the cartridge designation stamped
on the inside of the action. This designa-
tion is only visible when the shotgun’s
action is open.
• WARNING: Before loading this firearm,
always check the bores to be sure they
are free of grease, oil or any other
obstruction. Be sure the chambers are
empty and the safety is on SAFE.
To open the action of the shotgun, first
make sure the gun is pointed in a safe
direction. With one hand, move the top
lever to the right as far as it will go (don’t
use excessive force – it should move eas-
ily). With the other hand, pull down on
the barrels until the action is fully open
Action fully open
•WARNING: The safety switch is not
automatic. In other words, it does not
automatically go to the SAFE position
when the shotgun breech is opened and
closed. It must be manually moved to
the SAFE position.
Never try to put the safety switch between
the SAFE and FIRE positions. Unless the
safety is positioned all the way forward or
all the way to the rear, you cannot be cer-
tain whether it is on SAFE or FIRE.
The safest way to carry this shotgun is
with NO shells in the chambers. If you feel
that you must carry the shotgun with
shells in the chambers, then the safety
must be on SAFE. When you are ready to
fire, the safety can quickly be moved to
(see E & F). Insert one or two shells of
the proper gauge into the chambers.
Keeping you fingers away from the trigger
and out of the action, close the action by
pulling up on the barrels until it snaps
