5. When the last shell in the magazine has been cycled

through the chamber and out the ejection port, leave

the action open.

6. Using your index finger, feel the entry of the magazine to

make sure there are no longer any shells in the magazine.

ALTERNATE WAY TO UNLOAD —

The shells can also be removed from the magazine by

following these steps:

1. Place the safety in the “on safe” position, make sure

the action is closed and keep the muzzle pointing in

a safe direction.

2. Turn the gun over so the trigger guard is facing up,

then push the carrier down as far as it will go.

3. Push inward on the right of the cartridge cutoff to

release a shell from the magazine (Figure 7). Press the

cutoff again to release the second shell. The cartridge

cutoff is located on the inside-right of the ejection port.

When a shell is in the magazine the cutoff rests on

the brass of the shell.

4. With the safety still in the “on safe” position,

press the disconnector release button and move the

forearm all the way rearward to remove the shell

from the chamber.

WARNING: ALWAYS OPEN THE ACTION AND VISUALLY

CHECK THE CHAMBER TO BE CERTAIN THAT YOUR

SHOTGUN IS UNLOADED.

FIRING PROCEDURES

1. When you are ready to shoot, with a loaded shell in the

chamber, the safety in the “on safe” position, and your

finger off the trigger, push the safety to the “off safe”

position (with the red warning band fully visible). Your

shotgun is now ready to fire with a pull of the trigger.

REMEMBER, THE RECOIL FROM A SHOTGUN, ESPECIALLY

WITH MAGNUM LOADS, WILL BE SOMEWHAT HEAVIER

THAN MOST OTHER GUNS. FIRMLY SHOULDER YOUR

MODEL 1300, TAKE AIM, AND, WHEN ON TARGET,

SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER.

Press the cartridge stop inward

to release shell from magazine.
