BEFORE ANY ASSEMBLY OR DISASSEMBLY
PROCEDURES FIRST, MAKE CERTAIN THE
GUN IS TOTALLY UNLOADED AND THE
"SAFETY" IS THE "ON SAFE" POSITION. BE
CERTAIN THERE ARE NOT SHELLS IN THE
MAGAZINE, CHAMBER OR FEED MECHANISM.
PLACE THE SAFETY IN THE "ON SAFE"
POSITION.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR
DISASSEMBLY.
H OW TO REMOVE THE TRIGGER GROUP —
Removing the trigger guard group is another necessary
procedure in performing thorough maintenance of your
shotgun. It is easy to do, and removing it allows you to
perform cleaning and maintenance whenever and wher-
ever required. With both the trigger guard group and bolt
assembly removed, it is easy to wipe out any debris or
moisture that sometimes accumulates in the receiver.
1. Make sure the gun is unloaded. Place the safety in the
“ON SAFE” position and leave it there during disassembly
and cleaning. This assures that the hammer does not
inadvertently fall forward during cleaning. Full disassembly
involves removal of the bolt assembly and the trigger group.
Any disassembly beyond this should only be performed by
a competent gunsmith.
2. Under most circumstances, first remove the barrel and
gas system components as explained under “Initial
Assembly/Takedown.” It is acceptable for the trigger
group to be removed without removing the barrel —
although it makes sense to remove the barrel if you are
cleaning your gun.
3. After removing the barrel and forearm, it is good prac-
tice to immediately screw the magazine cap back onto the
magazine.
4. VERY IMPORTANT: The bolt must be slowly moved
from the open to the forward, closed position. You must

the receiver by slamming the bolt
closed with no barrel installed.
