REMOVAL —
1. First, make certain the gun is totally unloaded and the
safety is “on safe.”
CHECK THE MAGAZINE, FEED MECHANISM
AND CHAMBER TO BE SURE THEY DO NOT
CONTAIN ANY SHELLS.
2. Unscrew the magazine cap and remove it. Remember,
always point the end of the magazine away from your face
and in a safe direction.
3. Remove the forearm by sliding it forward, over the gas
bracket. It is also acceptable to remove the barrel as
explained previously under “Initial Assembly/Takedown.”
4. The magazine three-shot adapter lays underneath the
magazine spring retainer locked in the forward end of the
magazine tube. To remove the magazine spring retainer,
depress the magazine spring retainer tab, located in the
window on the magazine tube while keeping your hand
on the magazine spring retainer. (See Figure 11). Slowly
remove the magazine spring retainer as it is under pressure
of the magazine spring. (See Figure 12).
5. As the spring pushes the retainer out of the tube the 3-
shot adapter will come with it. Remove the retainer, the
magazine 3-shot adapter and the spring from the magazine
tube.
6. Remove the three-shot adapter from between the
retainer and the spring (See Figure 13).
