EMOVING A

SHELL FROM THE MAGAZINE

" shells only. If you
inadvertently load a 3" shell into the magazine it takes a
special procedure to clear it.
You will probably first notice
that you have inadvertently loaded a 3" shell in the magazine
when you lower the finger lever to move a new shell to the
chamber and the shell does not move up on the carrier. A
close inspection will reveal that the crimp end of the shell
cannot clear the magazine tube. To remove the shell from
the action follow these steps:
1. Close the action, returning the shell back into the magazine
tube. You may have to work the lever a bit to move the
crimp end of the shell past the cartridge stop if it hangs up
slightly. Pushing down on the crimp end of the shell with
your finger while closing the action with your other hand
may also release it and allow the shell to return back into
the magazine tube. Be careful not to pinch your finger.
2. With the action closed use a finger of your free hand to
push fully in on the spring cover of the loading port and
hold it there (Figure 13).
3. While holding the cover in, open the action by pulling
down and continuing forward on the finger lever until the
action is open. CONTINUE TO HOLD THE SPRING
COVER IN with your finger.
4. Remove your other hand from the finger lever and use
your finger or the end of a small screwdriver to push (gently
pry) the rim of the shell to the right until it rides up on the
spring cover slightly (Figure 14).
5. Use your finger or a small screwdriver to gently encourage
the shell rearward, out of the loading port until you can
grasp it with your fingers and pull it free.
This is not a procedure you want to do often — so please be
very careful not to mix 2
