SCREW-IN CHOKE TUBES:
Your Turkey Pro shotgun is equipped with a screw-in choke tube. This
tube will interchange with chokes designed for modern Winchester™
1300 and Mossberg™ 500 shotguns. To care for the choke tube, please
follow these simple steps:
1. Ensure the shotgun is not loaded.
2. Using the provided choke tube wrench, carefully unscrew the choke
tube counter-clockwise and remove from the barrel.
3. Using a cleaning brush, completely clean the threads of the choke tube,
the barrel threads and the inside of the choke. It is very important to
clean all powder fouling from the threads for easy re-insertion.
4. Lubricate the threads of the choke tube with Traditions A1580 grease
or another high-quality choke tube lubricant. Do not use thin gun oil,
as it will provide insufficient lubricity. Always lubricate after cleaning.
5. Replace the choke tube into the barrel by screwing clockwise until
completely seated. Do not force or overtighten the tube.
WARNING: Do not fire the shotgun without a choke tube in
place. Doing so will damage the barrel threads.
DISASSEMBLY FOR IN-LINE SHOTGUNS:
Before proceeding with disassembly and maintenance of your
muzzleloader, make certain the gun is unloaded and that the cap, or
primer has been removed from the nipple.
1. Remove ramrod and make sure the muzzleloader is unloaded.
2. If the bolt is in the forward position skip to #3. If the bolt is in the pulled
back (cocked) position, with safety in “fire” or “off” position, hold
moderate pressure on the bolt handle and pull the trigger and gently
slide the bolt to the full forward position.
3. Unscrew the knurled cap at back end of receiver, maintaining a
constant pressure on the cap to prevent an accidental release of the bolt
spring.
CAUTION: The bolt is under compression even with bolt in
full forward position and can cause serious injury if released
unexpectedly. Exercise caution whenever removing or
replacing knurled cap and spring.
