GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Citori is a two barreled shotgun with the barrels aligned one over
the other. It has two separate barrels that allow a rapid second shot
when needed. The trigger is a single selective style, and only one barrel
will be fired with each pull of the trigger. After one barrel has been
fired, the trigger shifts itself into position to fire the second barrel
when the trigger is pulled for the second shot.
Highly skilled techniques of hand-fitting and polishing are used
to accomplish the precise fitting of metal parts on this shotgun.
These painstaking operations are necessary to prevent looseness,
even after long use. You may consider the action of your new
shotgun to be slightly stiff. This close fitting assures you of long
lasting dependability.
NOMENCLATURE
