Instruction Manual

If at any time during firing, the sound of any round is noticeably louder or

softer than the previous rounds fired, STOP! Do not load or fire additional

ounds until you have moved the safety button fully rearward to the “ON”

(

SAFE) position. Safely unload your firearm and inspect it for possible

damage or an obstruction in the chamber or bore. (The bore is the inside

surface of the barrel.) Firing a firearm with a bore obstruction can cause

damage to the firearm and may result in serious personal injury to the

shooter and/or others nearby.

UNLOADING

Move the safety button fully rearward to the “ON” (SAFE) position (Fig. 1). Open the

firearm. The extractor will position live or spent cartridges for removal by hand (Fig. 8a).

Visually and physically check both chambers to be certain the firearm is

unloaded.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

With proper care and handling, your Mossberg International™ firearm will provide

you with years of dependable service. Your firearm should be inspected and cleaned

periodically to insure that it remains in good condition. Clean your firearm as soon as

possible after each use. This is especially important if your firearm has been exposed

to moisture.

Use the instructions and equipment provided with a quality gun cleaning kit.

All metal parts should be cleaned with an appropriate gun cleaning solvent and lightly

lubricated with gun oil. Over lubrication should be avoided. Use only lubricants

specifically designed for firearms. Avoid the use of abrasives, which may damage

the metal finish.

Scrub the bores and chambers with solvent and follow with cleaning patches until

the barrels are clean. A final pass with a lightly oiled patch will provide a protective

coating. Clean and remove any deposits in the barrels.

Be sure not to leave cleaning patches or excessive oil or grease in the

bores as they can create dangerous obstructions. Obstructions of any

kind can cause damage to the firearm and may result in serious personal

injury to the shooter and/or others nearby.

Normal use requires only that the mechanisms be free of excessive shooting

residue. Very little lubrication other than a light oiling of internal and external

surfaces is needed to prevent rust.
