I NITIAL C LEANING
Some metal parts of your new Model 9410 have been
coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound.
Before using your Model 9410, clean the anti-rust com-
pound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, shell feed
mechanism and the action/chamber areas. A high quality,
light 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 later in
this manual. First lubrication suggestions are outlined below.
If your new Model 9410 is for collector’s purposes only, it
is permissible to leave the rust preventative compound in
place and keep your Model 9410 in its box for maximum
protection during long term storage.
O ILING THE ACTION
Before the first firing of your Model 9410 you should first
wipe the mechanism completely clean, clean the bore and
apply a few drops of quality oil on the following surfaces
(Figure 2):
• Along the breech bolt surface.
• On each side of the vertical locking lug on the top
and bottom.
• Along the breech bolt rail surfaces.
Avoid applying too much oil. Only a light film is necessary.
Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions should be followed
before each oiling.
O PERATION OF THE HAMMER
The Model 9410’s Rebounding Hammer is a safety feature
designed to protect the firing pin from being struck by the
hammer when the trigger is not being pulled. After firing
your shotgun the hammer immediately moves to the
rebound position. From this position, under normal
conditions, the hammer is prevented from moving forward
and striking the firing pin. The rebound position and the
manual hammer stop are intended to work together to
provide protection against unintentional or accidental firing.
Lightly oil the action
at these points
