your shotgun and possible serious injury to you and others.
We can assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through
the use of shells of nonstandard dimension or those developing
pressures in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers’ Institute) established standards.

when lOading yOur shOtgun always keep the muZZle pOinted
in a safe direCtiOn, always plaCe the “safety” in the On safe

injury Or death.
1 Move the top lever to the right and open the breech.
2 Check the chambers and bores to be certain they are clear
of obstructions.
3 Insert a shell in each chamber, or in the chamber you intend to
fire, and close the breech.
FIRING
never lOad a shell intO the Chambers unless shOOting is
imminent. always keep the muZZle pOinted in a safe direCtiOn.
failure tO fOllOw these warnings COuld result in seriOus

1 Set the barrel selector to the barrel you wish to fire first. By sliding
the barrel selector to the right a “U” will appear signifying that the
under barrel will fire first. If you slide the barrel selector button to
the left an “O” will appear signifying that the over barrel will fire
first. Barrel selection can be made only when the “safety”/selector
is in the rearward, on safe position.
If you are disassembling for storage, reinstall the forearm on the barrels.
You will then have two compact units: the barrels and forearm and the
receiver and buttstock.
AMMUNITION
CitOri shOtguns are available in a variety Of gauges and
Chamber lengths. use Only shells Of the COrreCt gauge and
length. the gauge and length Of the Chamber is insCribed On the

The most certain way to bulge or rupture a shotgun barrel is to load
a smaller gauge shell into a larger gauge chamber. The smaller gauge
shell will not fall completely through the barrel; its rim is caught by the
front of a larger gauge chamber or at the larger gauge’s choke. Your
shotgun will misfire (with the chamber appearing to be empty). It is
then possible to load the correct gauge shell behind the smaller gauge
shell. If the shotgun is then fired, the result will be a so-called “12-16,
