Fixed Cylinder Bore Choke
Fixed Cylinder Bore Choke means the choke constriction is pre-machined into the barrel at the
factory. No choke adjustments can be made and no interchangeable chokes can be put.
18" (46cm) and 20" (50cm) barrel Escort AimGuard pump action models are produced with this
choke system as standard.
Turkey Choke:
Turkey choke tubes are also available which are specially designed for turkey hunting.
Escort FieldHunter 24" (61cm) barrel pump actions are designed for turkey hunting and they are
equipped with additional turkey choke tube.
NOTE: turkey choke tubes are for lead shot only!
WARNING !
•Make sure the firearm is unloaded and the safety "ON" before you assemble / disassemble
the chokes.
•Under safety conditions (cartridge chamber empty, receiver empty, magazine tube empty,
safety engaged), check whether the choke worked loose during use. In such a case, the choke
must be tightened, by means of choke wrench, to the end again.
•Keep the chokes clean.
•Do not fire the gun without a choke installed; it will damage the barrel threads.
Assembly & Disassembly of the screw-in chokes:
• Take one of the screw-in chokes of your choice. Place it inside the barrel and by means of choke
wrench, screw it (clockwise) to the end until it is completely tightened.
• To disassemble, unscrew (counter-clockwise) by means of choke wrench and remove it.
UNLOADING

• Depress the action release control button (2) and pull the forearm rearward, slowly, until the live
round is completely withdrawn from the chamber and visible in the ejection port, and then remove it.
• Continue pulling the forearm rearward to release the next round onto the carrier. Turn the firearm so
that ejection port faces downwards to allow the released round to drop out through the ejection port.
• Push the forearm completely forward, closing the bolt without a shell being chambered.

your other hand slowly pull the forearm until you feel that the carrier stays depressed at the bottom
by itself. (8)
Then remove your hand that you depressed the carrier and pull the forearm fully rearwards to eject
the cartridge from magazine tube. (9)
Repeat this procedure until no more cartridges are ejected from the magazine tube.
• When no more cartridges are ejected from the magazine tube, visually check to assure the
magazine tube and receiver are empty, and pull the forearm rearward enough to see and make sure
