IF THE BREECH WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE SHOTGUN.
Break the action of the gun and unload it. Carefully examine the
breech surfaces, and remove the foreign matter. Remember to always
keep the polished breech surfaces clean and lightly oiled.
LOADING —
CAUTION: REMEMBER, THE BT-99 SHOTGUN HAS NO MANUAL SAFETY.
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. AT ALL TIMES DURING THE LOADING AND UNLOADING
PROCEDURES BE SURE YOUR MUZZLE IS POINTING DOWN RANGE,
IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
1 Break the action as explained above.
2 Insert a shell fully into the chamber.
3 Close the action by lifting up on the forearm. The lever will snap back
to center when properly closed. Remember, keep your finger away
from the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
UNLOADING —
1 Open the action by pushing the top lever to the right, as explained
previously.
2 Pull down on the forearm. The BT-99 has an automatic extractor
extension. This means that a shell — fired or unfired — will lift from
the chamber of the shotgun when the action is broken open and be
conveniently lifted slightly out of the chamber for easy removal with
your fingers.
Remember, never have the action of your BT-99 closed except
when you are on the line ready to shoot, when your gun is cased,
or when it is set in a gun rack at the range. Also, never load the
chamber until you are ready to shoot. It is a courtesy to other
shooters, and a wise safety practice, to keep your action open and
unloaded at all other times.
