2. Each mount comes in two pieces. Remove the mount
caps (top parts) and fasten the mounts (bottom parts) to
the top of the receiver. (You may want to apply a removable
locking compound to each screw to assure they stay
secure under the effect of recoil). The mount with two
holes parallel to the receiver is mounted on the front of
the receiver. The mount with holes side by side (perpen-
dicular to the receiver) mounts at the back.
3. Once the mounts are in place, lay the scope inside the
stirrups, replace the caps and lightly tighten the cap screws.
4. Before fully tightening the cap screws adjust the scope
forward or backward to achieve the proper eye relief (eye
relief is the distance your eye must be from the rear lens of
the scope to bring the entire field of view into focus).
Proper eye relief is extremely important even with .410
shells. To prevent injury resulting from the rim of a scope
hitting your forehead, follow all instructions concerning
eye relief provided with your scope.
5. When the proper eye relief is found, tighten the cap
screws in a rotating, crossing pattern. Do not over tighten
so as to strip the screws or damage the scope tube.
6. Now carefully follow the instructions on sighting in
provided with your scope.
Important: If you are using a scope, you may consider
using a hammer extension. Refer to the instructions on
mounting a hammer extension later in this manual.
G ENERAL O PERATION
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION.
Prior to using live ammunition, it is essential that you
familiarize yourself thoroughly with these operating
instructions. Get accustomed to the feel of your new gun.
• Know the forces required to operate the action
• Know what forces are required to pull the trigger
• ABOVE ALL, KNOW HOW TO PLACE THE
HAMMER INTO THE SAFETY (REBOUND)
POSITION AND THE MANUAL HAMMER
STOP INTO THE “ON” POSITION.
Throughout this manual the “action” refers to the mechanism
of a firearm which loads and secures the shell in the
chamber. If the action resists closing, do not force it.
Small pieces of grit or other obstructions can make it
difficult to close the action. Make sure all surfaces are
clean if any unusual resistance is felt. However, remember
that this is a finely fitted action purposely made with tight
fitting tolerances. This assures your gun of good part-to-
part fit for many years to come and is the sign of a finely
crafted firearm.
