position, press the spring cover inward with the crimp
end of the first shell until the entire shell has entered the
loading port (Figure 10).
2. Then, insert the next shell in the same manner, pushing
down on the cover fully with the shell, then pushing the
preceding shell into the magazine.
3. Repeat this procedure with each shell, pushing the last
shell past the end of the spring cover, allowing the cover to
snap closed (Figure 11). Do not exceed the
recommended capacity of the magazine. With practice, the
shell can be inserted until only the rim is exposed and the
spring cover is depressed to aid in loading the next shell.
If a shell is loaded manually into the chamber before you
begin loading shells into the magazine, you will increase
total shell capacity by one; in the case of the Model 9410
Traditional model, nine in the magazine and one in the
chamber. If you open the action to load directly into the
chamber with the magazine already loaded it may be difficult
or impossible to close the action. You may need to
remove the shell from the chamber manually to allow the
shell on the carrier to move into position for chambering.
BEFORE LOADING, ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO
PLACE THE MANUAL HAMMER STOP IN THE
“ON” POSITION, AND THE HAMMER INTO
THE SAFETY (REBOUND), POSITION.
CAUTION: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SHELLS
ARE OF THE PROPER GAUGE AND LENGTH
FOR YOUR MODEL 9410 SHOTGUN. CHECK
