L OADING P ROCEDURES
USE THE CORRECT AMMUNITION AS INDICATED
BY THE INSCRIPTION ON THE BARREL. AS
EXPLAINED PREVIOUSLY, BEFORE LOADING
YOUR SHOTGUN MAKE SURE ALL GREASE
AND OIL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE
BARREL AND CHAMBER, AND THERE ARE
NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE BARREL OR
ACTION AREAS.
L OADING THE CHAMBER —
The chamber may be loaded two ways:
(1) Load the chamber by placing a shell directly into the
chamber through the opened action (Figure 8), or
(2) load the chamber by transferring a shell that was
previously loaded into the magazine (Figure 9) to the
chamber by operating the finger lever.
When loading the chamber directly, the magazine should
be empty. You must be careful to insert the end of the
shell partially into the chamber before operating the finger
lever to close the action. If a shell does not chamber
completely when you close the action you should eject it
and inspect it. The problem may be caused by the crimp
and you can simply try again to chamber it. Be sure to
check the shell to make sure it is a 2
1 ⁄ 2 " shell and not a 3"
shell. If it is a 3" shell do not use it or try to chamber it in
your Model 9410. Store it away separately from your gun.
IN EITHER CASE, ALWAYS FIRST PLACE THE
MANUAL HAMMER STOP IN THE “ON” POSITION,
AND THEN PLACE THE HAMMER INTO THE
SAFETY (REBOUND), POSITION UPON CLOSING
THE ACTION.
L OADING THE MAGAZINE —
The magazine is loaded through the port on the right side
of the receiver.
1. With the action closed and the manual hammer stop in
the “on” position and the hammer in the safety (rebound)
Loading directly into the
chamber
