DISASSEMBLY OF THE BARREL FROM THE
RECEIVER
BEFORE STARTING DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES, VISUALLY INSPECT
THE CHAMBER, FEED MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE TO BE ABSOLUTELY
CERTAIN THE SHOTGUN IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. POINT THE BARREL
IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
1 Unscrew the magazine cap and remove it.
2 Remove the forearm by sliding it forward off the magazine tube.
3 For cleaning, remove the barrel, piston and piston sleeve by sliding
them forward off the magazine tube. See “Cleaning and Maintenance
Suggestions” on page 25 and 26 for cleaning procedures.
If you are disassembling for storage, return the piston and piston
sleeve onto the magazine tube as shown previously in Figure 3-B.
Reinstall the forearm over the magazine tube and screw on the
magazine cap. You will then have two compact units: the barrel,
and the action with stock and forearm.
CAUTION: AFTER THE BARREL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM YOUR GUN,
LEAVE THE BOLT IN THE OPEN POSITION. DO NOT PRESS THE CARRIER
RELEASE BUTTON.
If the bolt is released forward with the barrel removed, the cartridge
stop will hit the front of the receiver and cause damage.
DISASSEMBLY OF THE TRIGGER GROUP AND
BOLT ASSEMBLY
The trigger group or bolt can be removed if the action becomes
excessively dirty or wet. If this occurs, disassemble the action for a
complete cleaning as explained below. Your Gold Fusion shotgun is
designed to allow full disassembly of the trigger group and bolt
assembly in the field, without any tools. Detailed cleaning procedures
are outlined under “Cleaning and Maintenance” on page 29. Full
