1 Grasp the bolt handle and cycle the action until all shells are
transferred from the magazine to the chamber and then ejected.
Take care to avoid damaging shells. Avoid letting them fall to
the ground.
2 When the last shell in the magazine has been cycled through the
chamber and out the ejection port, the bolt will lock rearward.
The bolt will lock rearward when cycled with an empty magazine.
3 Using your index finger, feel the entry of the magazine to make
sure there are no shells that have not been fed from the magazine
and ejected. Visually inspect the chamber, feed mechanism and
magazine to assure there are no shells remaining.

1 Turn the shotgun over so the trigger guard is facing up, then push
the carrier down with your finger as far as it will go.
2 Shells are retained in the magazine by the shell stop, which catches
the rim of the shell base. On 12 gauge models, locate the shell stop
inside the receiver on the right
side of the loading port (visually
to the left side when looking
down into the loading port).
3 Push inward on the shell stop
with your index finger
(Figure 13) to release a shell
from the magazine. As the shell
stop is pressed in, the shell will
be forced out of the magazine
under spring pressure. Capture
the shell as it comes out.
1 Load a shell into the chamber as explained previously and
immediately place the “safety” in the on safe position.
2 With a shell in the chamber, you need only move the “safety” to
the off safe position to fire the shotgun.
3 When ready to fire, move the “safety” into the off safe position,
take aim and squeeze the trigger.
After a shell is fired, the gas system ejects the fired shell and picks up
a loaded shell from the magazine and automatically chambers it.
You may continue to fire the shotgun until the magazine is empty by
pulling the trigger to fire each shell. After the last shell is fired, the
breech of the shotgun remains open, with the bolt locked to the rear.
This allows convenient and fast reloading.
If you are done shooting, leave the bolt locked to the rear, with the
breech in the open position so that you may visually inspect the
chamber, bore, carrier and magazine to be sure they contain no shells.
After firing, or when shooting is no longer imminent,
immediAtely plAce the “sAfety” in the on sAfe position.
fAilure to follow these wArnings could result in serious
injury or deAth.
