DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
Disassembling your BT-99 into two parts — the action/buttstock
and the barrel/forearm — is ideal for storage or for cleaning
and maintenance.
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES, MAKE CERTAIN
THERE IS NOT A SHELL IN THE CHAMBER.
1 With the action closed, anchor the buttstock against your upper leg
and pull the takedown lever latch outward.
2 At the same time, grasp the forearm with the other fingers of the left
hand and with the help of the right hand pivot the forearm away
from the barrel (Figure 9). Set the forearm aside.
3 Break open the action in the usual manner.
4 Carefully disengage the barrel lug from
the hinge pin and lift the barrel upward
out of the action.
5 Reattach the forearm to the barrels as
explained previously, except with the
barrels separated from the receiver. This
is an ideal way to store your shotgun —
in two separate pieces.
NO MANUAL SAFETY
CAUTION: REMEMBER, THE BT-99 SHOTGUN HAS NO MANUAL SAFETY. THE
BT-99 IS DESIGNED SOLELY FOR TRAP SHOOTING.
A trap shooter does not load his or her gun until moments before a
bird is called for. For this reason, and because trapshooting demands
intense concentration on shooting technique, no manual safety is
provided. There is then no chance for a lost bird by reason of the
safety being inadvertently left “on safe.”
LOAD YOUR BT-99 TRAP GUN ONLY WHEN SHOOTING IS IMMINENT.
ONCE LOADED, THIS GUN IS READY TO FIRE AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED
AS SUCH.
