Always make sure that the switch is completely to one
side or the other. If the switch is inadvertently positioned
directly between “O” and “U” the safety switch may be
more difficult to move forward to the “off safe” position.
Not only is this aggravating but it may cause you to miss
your chance at a bird.
A SSEMBLY
Your new Supreme shotgun will come from the factory
partially disassembled in a special box. Remove the barrel
assembly (with forearm attached) and receiver/stock
section from the carton. Wipe them clean and lightly oil
component parts as explained under “Initial
Cleaning/Oiling.”
It is important to carefully follow the assembly instruc-
tions below to assure the proper assembly of your shotgun.
Important: These instructions assume you are assembling
your Supreme from its disassembled form, exactly as it comes
from the factory. The forearm should come attached to the
barrels. The buttstock/receiver section and the barrel/forearm
section should be two separate components.
BEFORE BEGINNING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS,
ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THERE ARE NO SHELLS IN
THE CHAMBERS.
