One of the advantages of a Super X Pump is the ability to
disassemble the action for cleaning. Under very harsh
weather conditions and in dirty environments just
knowing that parts are clean and lightly oiled can add an
extra measure of confidence to your shooting experience.
Make sure you have a clean place to work and a good
place to put the components as they are disassembled
(Figure 12, page 26).

1. Unscrew and remove the magazine cap. Remember,
always keep the end of the magazine pointed in a
safe direction.
2. Slide the barrel forward, withdrawing the barrel from
the receiver and disengaging the barrel bracket from
the front end of the magazine tube.
3. Immediately screw the magazine cap back onto
the magazine tube at least three full turns.

Removing the trigger group is another necessary
procedure in performing thorough maintenance of your
shotgun. It is easy to do, and removing it allows you to
perform cleaning and maintenance whenever and
wherever required. With both the trigger group and bolt
assembly removed, it is easy to wipe out any debris or
moisture that sometimes accumulates in the receiver.
The trigger group should be removed before you attempt
to remove the bolt assembly.
1. Make sure the firearm is completely unloaded as
explained previously in this owner’s manual.
2. Cycle the action by sliding the forearm rearward and
then forward. This puts the hammer in the cocked
position. Place the “safety” in the on safe position.
3. If the barrel assembly has been removed, always be
sure to replace the magazine cap on the end of the
magazine tube to prevent accidental disengagement
of the magazine spring retainer.
4. Place your firearm with the trigger guard facing up on
a suitable surface that will protect the receiver finish
and stock.
5. Remove the trigger guard pin by pushing it out from
the left side of the receiver, the side opposite the
ejection port. Any sturdy pushing tool that is smaller
in diameter than the pin and will not mar the finish
is acceptable. Make sure you can maintain a good
grip on the pushing tool and on your shotgun while
you push.
6. Push the pin through sufficiently until it can be
grasped with your fingers. Pull it the rest of the way
out. If it cannot be removed with fingers, make sure
your pushing tool or punch has a diameter small
enough so that it will push the pin completely through
without the tool damaging the hole.
