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.
A LTERNATE W AY TO U NLOAD —
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.

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.
