2. When the last shell in the magazine has been cycled
through the chamber and out the ejection port, the
action will lock rearward. The action should lock rear-
ward when the acton is cycled with an empty magazine.

U NLOADING DIRECTLY FROM THE MAGAZINE —

1. Turn the gun over so the trigger guard is facing up, then
push the carrier down with our finger as far as it will go.
2. Push inward on the right side of the cartridge stop,
releasing the shell from the magazine. Be careful not to
pinch your finger. The cartridge stop is located on the
inside right side of the loading port (visually to your left
side when looking down into the loading port). When a
shell is in the magazine, the stop catches on the brass of
the shell. As the cartridge stop is pressed in, the shell will
be forced out of the magazine under spring pressure (see
Figure 10). Capture it as it comes out. Press the stop again
to release the next shell. Do this until the magazine is
empty.
3. With the safety still in the “on safe” position, pull rear-
ward on the bolt handle to eject the cartridge from the
chamber. The bolt will lock rearward when the action is
cycled with an empty magazine.
4. Using your index finger, feel the entry of the magazine
to make sure there are no longer any shells that have not
been feed from the magazine and ejected. Visually inspect
the chamber, feed mechanism and magazine to assure
there are no shells remaining.
IMPORTANT — AFTER UNLOADING ALWAYS
VISUALLY CHECK AND KNOW FOR SURE
THAT YOUR SHOTGUN IS NOT LOADED.
