Owner's Manual

5 With the gun in the vertical position, line the gas bracket and gas
piston over the magazine tube (Figure 3-B). Slide the gas bracket and
gas piston over the magazine tube. The barrel extension should slip
solidly down into the receiver. Make sure the piston rod moves freely
in its slot in the receiver.
6 Replace the forearm by sliding it onto the magazine tube and over
the gas bracket so it seats securely. Install the magazine cap. Make
sure the magazine cap is fully tightened down. Open and close
the action several times and retighten the magazine cap. This will
ensure a proper seal.
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.
