LOADING PROCEDURES
AT ALL TIMES DURING THE LOADING PROCEDURE, BE SURE YOUR MUZZLE
IS POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND THE SAFETY IS IN THE “ON SAFE”
POSITION.
There are two methods for getting a loaded shell into the chamber of
your Gold Fusion shotgun.
LOADING THE CHAMBER THROUGH THE
EJECTION PORT
1 After making sure the safety is “on safe,” pull the operating handle to
the rear until the bolt locks in the open position.
VISUALLY INSPECT THE CHAMBER, CARRIER AND MAGAZINE TO MAKE
SURE THEY ARE CLEAR OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS.
2 While pointing the muzzle in a safe direction, insert a cartridge of
the proper gauge through the ejection port into the open breech
(Figure 9). Press the carrier release button. This will deliver the shell
to the chamber. The chamber is now loaded.
3 With the chamber loaded, load the magazine to full capacity. To load
the magazine, insert a shell, of proper gauge, through the loading
port at the bottom of the receiver, up into the magazine, using your
thumb to position it fully forward in the magazine tube (Figure 9-A).
Make sure the rim of the shell engages the cartridge stop and is held
