Owner's Manual

UNLOADING

WHEN UNLOADING YOUR SHOTGUN ALWAYS PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE

ON SAFE POSITION. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION

AND YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW

THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, BARREL, FEED MECHANISM AND

MAGAZINE CAREFULLY AFTER UNLOADING TO BE SURE ALL LIVE SHELLS

ARE CLEARED FROM THE FIREARM.

UNLOADING BY CYCLING THE ACTION

1 Grasp the bolt handle and cycle the action until all shells are

transferred from the magazine to the chamber and then ejected.

Take care to avoid damaging shells. Avoid letting them fall to

the ground.

2 When the last shell in the magazine has been cycled through the

chamber and out the ejection port, the bolt will lock rearward. The

bolt will lock rearward when cycled with an empty magazine.

3 Using your index finger, feel the entry of the magazine to make

sure there are no shells that have not been fed from the magazine

and ejected. Visually inspect the chamber, feed mechanism and

magazine to assure there are no shells remaining.

UNLOADING FROM THE MAGAZINE (12 GAUGE MODELS ONLY)

1 Turn the shotgun over so the trigger guard is facing up, then push

the carrier down with your finger as far as it will go.

2 Shells are retained in the magazine by the shell stop, which catches

the rim of the shell base. On 12 gauge models, locate the shell stop

inside the receiver on the right side of the loading port (visually to

the left side when looking down into the loading port).
