SPEED UNLOADING

1 With the “safety” in the on safe position, turn the shotgun over so

the trigger guard is facing up, then push the carrier down with

your finger as far as it will go.

2 Shells are retained in the magazine by the shell stop, which catches

the rim of the shell base. Locate the shell stop inside the receiver

on the right side of the loading port (visually to the left side when

looking down into the loading port).

3 Push inward on the shell stop with your index finger (Figure 15)

to release a shell from the magazine. As the shell stop is pressed in,

the shell will be forced out of the magazine under spring pressure.

Catch the shell in your hand

as it comes out.

4 Press the stop again to release the

next shell. Continue to do this

until the magazine is empty. Be

careful not to pinch your finger.

5 With the “safety” still in the on

safe position, pull rearward on

the bolt handle to eject the shell

from the chamber. The bolt will

lock rearward when the action is

cycled with an empty magazine.

6 Using your index finger, feel the opening of the magazine to make

sure there are no shells that have not been fed from the magazine

and ejected. Visually inspect the chamber, feed mechanism and

magazine to assure there are no shells remaining.

UNLOADING BY CYCLING THE ACTION

1 With the “safety” in the on safe position, grasp the bolt handle and

cycle the action until all shells are transferred from the magazine to

the chamber and then ejected. Take care to avoid damaging shells.

Avoid letting them fall to the ground.

2 When the last shell in the magazine has been cycled through the

chamber and out the ejection port, the bolt will lock rearward. The

bolt will lock rearward when cycled with an empty magazine.

3 Using your index finger, feel the opening of the magazine to make

sure there are no shells that have not been fed from the magazine

and ejected. Visually inspect the chamber, feed mechanism and

magazine to assure there are no shells remaining.

The Magazine Cut-Off allows you to unload a shell from the chamber

without cycling a shell from the magazine. With this feature you can

quickly and easily load a heavier or lighter shell into the chamber

should the need arise. To change loads in the chamber using the

Magazine Cut-Off, perform the following operation:

1 Pull the Magazine Cut-Off lever to the rear to engage the magazine

cut-off and block the magazine (Figure 16, page 26). With the lever

to the rear, shells are locked in the magazine. Additionally, shells

cannot be loaded into the magazine with the lever to the rear.
