Make sure the ends of the rails line up with the rear top
edge of the forearm (See Figure 13). The forearm can be
angled slightly or positioned parallel with the barrels.
Press with even pressure using both hands, front to back,
along the forearm. As the forearm snaps into position, the
release latch will briefly protrude out from the bottom of
the forearm then snap down flush with the forearm when
it is secured in position correctly.
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 is only one basic
way to load the chamber of your Supreme.
Before loading the chambers, make sure of the following:
1) Your shotgun is pointed in a safe direction.
2) The safety is in the “on safe” position.
3) You are in an appropriate location for shooting.
4) Shooting will be imminent.
5) You have the correct gauge and type of ammunition
for your gun.
1. Place the safety in the “ON SAFE” position.
2. Open the action by pushing the top lever to the right
with the thumb of your right hand. (This is assuming your
are shooting right handed. Left-handed shooters usually
push the lever reaching across with their left thumb.)
