DISASSEMBLE BEYOND WHAT IS EXPLAINED AND
SHOWN IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL.
Disassembling the action can be done in the field, but
remember there are small parts involved, some of which
are under spring tension. First, be certain there are no
shells in the magazine or chamber.

Removing the trigger guard 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 guard group and bolt
assembly removed, it is easy to wipe out any debris or
moisture that sometimes accumulates in the receiver. The
trigger guard group should be removed before you attempt
to remove the bolt assembly.
1. Make sure the gun 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 gun 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.
