TO LOAD MAGAZINE
1. Be sure safety is “ON” and the bolt closed.
2. Turn gun until trigger guard is up.
3. Push down on front end of the carrier with shell
and slide the shell well into the magazine tube.
There will be a “click” as the cut off (the part
which holds the shell in the magazine tube) snaps
into position.
4. Repeat step 3 to load additional shell or shells.
Be sure the last shell is pushed all the way past the
cut off to insure proper gun functioning.
TO UNLOAD CHAMBER AND MAGAZINE
1. Be sure the safety is in the “ON” position (red
band on safety button will be hidden).
2. Push disconnector and slide forearm all the way
back. This will remove the shell from the chamber.
3. Slide forearm all the way forward. This will load
another shell into the chamber.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until gun is empty.
CAUTION: Be certain magazine follower is
visible to make sure no shells remain in the magazine.
With the bolt all the way back, check the
chamber to be sure it is empty.
