Winchester Repeating Arms Select - Manual (Page 14)

It is important to carefully follow the assembly instructions
below to assure the proper assembly of your shotgun.
Important: These instructions assume you are assembling
your Select from its disassembled form, exactly as it comes
from the factory. The forearm should come attached to
the barrels. The buttstock/receiver section and the
barrel/forearm section should be two separate components.
BEFORE BEGINNING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS,
ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THERE ARE NO SHELLS
IN THE CHAMBERS.
1. Inspect the chambers and action areas, and clean dirt
and/or excess oil from them as explained in this
owner’s manual.
2. Remove the forearm from the barrels. To do this hold
the barrels with one hand and pull out on the forearm
release latch with the other (Figure 6). Pull the forearm
away from the action and entirely off the barrel set.
You may need to push it away from the barrels with
your other hand.
3. Attach the barrels (without the forearm attached to
them) to the action by first holding the barrels with
the muzzle at a downward angle with respect to the
receiver. Then push the top lever to the right.
Carefully engage the bearing surfaces of the trunnion-
type pins (located inside the forward portion of the
receiver) with the curved bearing surfaces on each side
of the bottom barrel (Figure 7).
