M AGAZINE C APACITY
It is extremely important that you know the magazine
capacity of your Model 1300. It is listed on the hangtag
supplied with your Model 1300. Under appropriate
circumstances — at a range or other suitable shooting
location — load your magazine to full capacity and
make note of the number of shells. Remember,
“total” capacity includes an additional round which
can be loaded manually in the chamber in addition to
a full magazine.
I NITIAL C LEANING /O ILING
Some metal parts of your new Model 1300 have been
coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound.
Before using your Model 1300, clean the anti-rust
compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, breech
bolt mechanism and the action/chamber areas. A high
quality, lightweight gun oil should be used to remove this
compound and to give your new gun its first lubrication.
Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as
explained under “Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions”
found on page 25 in this owner’s manual. First lubrication
suggestions are outlined below.
Before beginning assembly of your Model 1300 you should
first wipe the mechanism clean and apply a few drops of
quality oil on the indicated surfaces (Figure 2).
