ESTABLISHED STANDARDS.
DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS,
CLEANING FIREARMS OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY
RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES
KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE
HARM AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS
THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE.
Incorrectly reloaded ammunition can cause serious
personal injury and damage to the firearm due to excessive
pressure. Reload only after proper instruction and in strict
compliance with instructions and data contained in
current reloading manuals.
MAGAZINE CAPACITY
It is extremely important that you know the magazine
capacity of your Model 1300. It is listed on the hangtag
supplied with your Model 1300. Under appropriate
circumstances — at a range or other suitable shooting
location — load your magazine to full capacity and
make note of the number of shells. Remember,
“total” capacity includes an additional round which
can be loaded manually in the chamber in addition to
a full magazine.
INITIAL CLEANING/OILING
Some metal parts of your new Model 1300 have been
coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound.
Before using your Model 1300, clean the anti-rust
compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, breech
bolt mechanism and the action/chamber areas. A high
quality, lightweight gun oil should be used to remove this
compound and to give your new gun its first lubrication.
Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as
explained under “Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions”
found on page 25 in this owner’s manual. First lubrication
suggestions are outlined below.
Before beginning assembly of your Model 1300 you should
first wipe the mechanism clean and apply a few drops of
quality oil on the indicated surfaces (Figure 2).
