ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Escort pump action shotgun is packed dismounted in its box, i.e. barrel is separated from
the stock-receiver-forearm assembly. To attach the barrel, first remove all parts from the plastic bags.
Before proceeding with the assembly of the firearm, carefully check the
" Nomenclature " and read " Safety Measures " sections.
WARNING !
Before assembling the gun, check the barrel. Bore and cartridge chamber must be clean and
there should no obstructions in them.
Assemble the gun as follows:
• Unscrew the magazine cap (counter-clockwise) and remove it from the magazine tube. (3)
• Insert the barrel extension into the receiver. While doing this, be sure the barrel extension seats
between the bolt and the receiver and barrel port ring is aligned with the magazine tube. Continue
to slide the barrel into the receiver until the barrel extension seats completely inside the receiver. (4)
• Screw the magazine cap (clock-wise) so that the forearm and barrel are held properly in place.
The firearm is now assembled and ready for use.
Migratory Waterfowl Plug (for Escort FieldHunters only)
Federal law limits a repeating shotgun to three cartridges when used for migratory waterfowl. To
install the migratory waterfowl plug included with your Escort shotgun,
• Unscrew the magazine cap.
• Insert the polymer rod, making sure the head is centered in the end of the magazine tube.
• Replace the magazine cap.
To remove the plug, reverse the procedure above.
WARNING !
IF
1. Bolt does not slide forward
2. There is a gap between fore-end and receiver
3. Barrel extension protrudes from the receiver,
that means you have not assembled the firearm properly. In such a case, immediately reverse
assembly procedures and re-assemble your firearm making sure that the barrel is completely
inserted into the receiver, fore-end is completely in place and there are no gaps. If you still
cannot assemble the gun properly take it to a qualified gunsmith for help.
**After you assembled your firearm or if you are taking it to a gunsmith for help, make sure
that you keep the safety "ON".
NOTE: To disassemble the firearm, reverse the above assembly procedure. To disassemble the bolt; slide the bolt and the
action bar forward and remove them from the magazine tube-receiver assembly after the barrel is removed. While doing
this, be careful since the bolt may fall from the action bar. Therefore keep the bolt up during this operation. Then the bolt
can be easily removed from the action bar with your hand.
