LOADING THE MAGAZINE — 1. With
the safety in the “on” position and the
action closed, push the shot shell
upwards against the carrier and
forward into the magazine (Figure6).
There will be a “click” as the cutoff (the
part that holds the shell in the
magazine tube) snaps into position.
2. Repeat the previous step to load the
second shell into the magazine tube,
again making sure the cutoff has
snapped into position.
TO UNLOAD THE CHAMBER AND
MAGAZINE — Be sure the safety is in
the “on” position (the red warning band
must not be visible).
