Owner's Manual

REMEMBER: 3" MAGNUM SHELLS CAN ONLY BE USED IF THE RIGHT

SIDE OF THE BARREL ON THE 12 AND 20 GAUGE IS STAMPED

“2 3/4" AND 3" FIELD MODEL.” IF THE BARREL IS NOT STAMPED

3", DO NOT USE 3" SHELLS. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN A BUILD-UP

OF DANGEROUSLY HIGH PRESSURES THAT MAY DAMAGE YOUR GUN

AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.

If, at some future time, you wish to limit your gun to three shots

again, unscrew the magazine cap and remove the magazine spring

retainer. Insert the three-shot adapter. Lightly press the base of the

three-shot adapter to force the magazine spring rearward until the

base of the three-shot adapter is level with the end of the magazine

tube. Replace the magazine spring retainer and the magazine cap.

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.

With the slide fully forward, press a shell nose first through the

bottom ejection port into the rear of the magazine tube against

the magazine spring follower until

the rim of the shell slips in front of

the cartridge stop (Figure 8). Load

additional shells in the same

manner until the magazine is full.

To load a shell from the magazine

to the chamber, depress the slide

release button and cycle the slide.

Another shell can then be loaded

into the magazine. Test locking of

the breechblock by attempting to

retract the slide. The slide should

not retract.
