the magazine cap. Make sure the magazine cap is fully
tightened down. Open and close the action several times
and retighten the magazine cap. This will ensure a
proper seal.
T AKING DOWN THE BARREL —
BEFORE STARTING DISASSEMBLY
PROCEDURES, VISUALLY INSPECT THE
CHAMBER, FEED MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE
TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE SHOTGUN
IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. POINT THE
BARREL IN A SAFE DIRECTION. PLACE THE
SAFETY IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION’
The red warning band on the safety must not be visible.
Take-down for storage is essentially the reverse of assembly
procedures. The action should be left open if disassembly
of the rest of the gun will not be performed. If you intend
to fully disassemble your gun, you may start with the
action closed.
1. Unscrew the magazine cap and remove it.
2. Remove the forearm by sliding it forward off the
magazine tube.
3. If you are disassembling for cleaning remove the barrel,
piston, piston sleeve and sleeve spring by sliding them
forward off the magazine tube. See “Cleaning and
Maintenance Suggestions” later in this manual for cleaning
procedures.
NOTE: If you are disassembling for storage, lock the
action rearward. Leave the piston, piston sleeve and
spring on the magazine tube as explained previously.
Reinstall if they were removed. Install the forearm over
the magazine tube and screw on the magazine cap. You
will then have two compact units: (1) the barrel, and
(2) the action with forearm and stock.
CAUTION: AFTER THE BARREL HAS BEEN
REMOVED FROM YOUR GUN, AND YOU
INTEND TO STORE YOUR GUN, LEAVE THE
BOLT IN THE OPEN POSITION. DO NOT
PRESS THE CARRIER RELEASE BUTTON.
If the bolt is release forward with the barrel removed, the
bolt handle will hit the front of the ejection port and
cause damage to both the receiver and the bolt handle.
L OADING P ROCEDURES
Before loading your gun, be sure all grease and oil has
been removed from the barrel and chamber and there are
no obstructions. Use the correct ammunition referenced
by the inscription on the barrel. There are two ways to
load the chamber of your Super X2.
