The Browning
2000
is equipped with the
speed loading system Browning Automatic
shotguns are famous for. It is not necessary
to jiggle the first round into the chamber and
then trip the carrier latch (bolt release) to
ready the first round for firing. Nor is it neces-
sary to insert a round into the magazine and
then cycle the bolt to chamber the first round
After being sure the breech bolt is locked
open,
all
you do is thumb the first round into
the loading port on the left side of the re-
ceiver.. Push this first round forward so that
the brass head of the shell is about an
inch forward of the carrier latch trip (Figure
6).
Release the shell by withdrawing your
thumb completely out of the loading port and
letting the shell slam rearward against the
carrier latch trip.
Instantly this round will
be whisked into the chamber ready for firing!
