GAS OPERATED AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN
NOMENCLATURE
In conventional gun terminology, the posi-
tion and movement of gun parts are described
as they occur with the gun horizontal, in
normal firing position; i.e., the muzzle is for-
ward or front; butt stock is rearward or rear;
trigger is underneath; the rib is on top.

CAUTION
ALWAYS VISUALLY CHECK
YOUR SHOTGUN
-
to be certain
that it does not inadvertently contain
any ammunition. Whenever you pick
up a gun, immediately make sure the
gun is on safe and the chamber and
magazine are unloaded.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR GUN’S
SAFETY IN THE “ON SAFE”
POSI-
TION
-
even if you are certain the
gun is unloaded.
Check and double
check, frequently while you are hunt-
ing. Be sure contact with a twig, a
tumble on slippery terrain, the mo-
ment of excitement after a shot, or a
dozen other seemingly innocent inci-
dents have not left
you
with a gun,
“off safe.”
Never point a gun you are certain
is
“on safe” at anything you do not
intend to shoot. Safe gun handling
does not stop with your gun’s mechan-
ical safety. It starts there. Handle
your gun at all times with deep respect
