Winchester Repeating Arms 9410 Cross Bolt Safety (Historic Manual) - Manual (Page 24)

With a loaded shell in the chamber, the manual hammer
stop in the “on” position, the hammer in the safety
(rebound) position and your finger off the trigger:
1. Firmly position your thumb on the hammer and draw
the hammer back to the full-cock position
(Figure 15).
2. Place the manual hammer stop in the “off” position
(Figure 16) by pushing it from right to left.
YOUR SHOTGUN IS NOW READY TO FIRE.
3. Firmly shoulder your gun, take aim and when on target
pull the trigger smoothly, without jerking. After firing, let
the trigger return to the fully forward position.
SPECIAL NOTE ON TRIGGER PULL: When pulling
the trigger an initial “take-up” section can be felt. This
longer, initial pull is an added safety feature of your Model
9410. It serves to drop an internal hammer block that is
positioned between the hammer and receiver. The hammer
block prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin
until you pull the trigger to fire the shotgun.
T O CHAMBER ANOTHER ROUND FOR THE NEXT SHOT —
1. Swing the finger lever fully down extracting and ejecting
the fired shell case from the chamber.
2. Close the action by returning the finger lever upward.
The closing of the action will transfer a new shell from
the magazine to the chamber, leaving the hammer in a
cocked “ready to fire” position.
3. WHEN THROUGH FIRING ALWAYS
IMMEDIATELY PLACE THE MANUAL
HAMMER STOP IN THE “ON” POSITION
(FIGURE 17), AND THE HAMMER IN THE
SAFETY (REBOUND) POSITION (REFER
BACK TO FIGURE 6).
