Be sure to check the shell to make sure it is a 2 1 ⁄ 2 " shell

from your gun.

The magazine is loaded through the port on the right side
of the receiver.
1. With the action closed and the manual hammer
stop/safety in the “on” position and the hammer in the
rebound position, press the spring cover inward with the
crimp end of the first shell until the entire shell has
entered the loading port (Figure 12).
2. Insert the next shell in the same manner, pushing
down on the cover fully with the shell, then push the
preceding shell into the magazine.
3. Repeat this procedure with each shell, pushing the
last shell past the end of the spring cover, allowing the
cover to snap closed (Figure 13). Do not exceed the
recommended capacity of the magazine. With practice,

next shell.
