Shooting accidents are often caused by careless oversights such as failing to control the direction of the muzzle, failing to fully engage the safety, leaving ammunition in the chamber or using improper loads. These oversights can result in the destruction of life, limb or property. There's no calling back a bullet once it's been fired, so it's critical that you know the principles of safe gun handling and storage before you ever take your new Remington firearm out of the box. [. . . ] Holding the barrels with the other hand, engage the lower locking lug located on the lower portion of the barrel with the receiver. The half round cut out on the lower locking lug fits around the round bar in the forward lower portion of the slot in the receiver. With the barrels engaged into the receiver, swing the barrels up into the locked position. The top lever should move back to the center once the barrels are locked into position. Note: The top lever may not move completely to the center on a new shotgun until the gun is broken in. The top lever must move at least three quarters of its full travel distance. (See Pictures 17, 18 and 19). 10 Instructions For Assembly Of Shotgun (cont'd) Picture 17 Picture 18 Picture 19 4. Now that the barrels have been locked into the receiver, you must reattach the fore end to the barrel. Pull outward on the mechanical latch in the center of the fore end and place the fore end on the receiver. If the latch does not go to its final flat position, it may be necessary to push it into place. (See Picture 20). Picture 20 Loading and Unloading Your Shotgun WARNING Never load or fire the shotgun unless the barrels is locked into position on the receiver, and the fore end is locked in to the receiver and barrels. WARNING Make sure the shotgun is pointed in a safe direction and the trigger block safety is engaged at all times while loading and unloading. NEVER allow your fingers or other objects to contact the trigger (s) while loading or unloading. WARNING Do not disengage the trigger block safety until you are ready to fire and have the gun pointed safely downrange WARNING: DO NOT LOAD SHOTGUN UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE. 11 Loading and Unloading Your Shotgun (cont'd) TO LOAD: 1. Make sure the ammunition that you are using is the correct size and gauge. Barrels marked 3" (76mm) will use only 2 3/4" (70mm) or 3"(76mm) shot shells and must not be used with 3 1/2" (89mm) shells. Barrels marked with 2 3/4" (70mm) will use only 2 3/4" (70mm) and must not be used with or 3" (76mm) or 3 1/2" (89mm) shells. Visually inspect the chambers and barrels for obstructions by breaking open the shotgun by depressing the locking lever and tipping the barrels down. The chambers and barrels should be free of oil or grease or obstructions. After inspection, load the correct type of shot shells into the chambers making sure that the shells are flush with the extractor (See Pictures 22 and 23), then close the action by swinging the barrels up until they lock into the receiver and the top lever moves back to the center position. If the top lever does not move to the center, (See Picture 24) break open the action again and check to see if the shot shells are fully seated in the chambers. If the shot shells are not fully seated, check the chamber for blockage and check the shells for deformation and retry closing the action once more. If the shells are the correct type and the chambers are not blocked and the shells are not deformed and the top lever does not move at least three quarters of the full travel distance to the center after closing, then unload the gun (follow Unloading Instructions) and have a competent gunsmith look at the gun or return the gun to Remington I. S. P. Note: The top lever may not move completely to the center on a new shotgun until the gun is broken in. [. . . ] There are two types of screw chokes available: lead shot choke tubes and steel shot choke tubes. When installed, steel shot choke tubes protrude approximately 3/4" from the muzzle end of the barrel and the mating lip will be flush with the end of the barrel. When installed, lead shot choke tubes fit flush with or slightly below the muzzle end of the barrel. If you have lead shot choke tubes and intend to shoot steel shot cartridges or slugs, then you must use only the IC or Cylinder tubes. [. . . ]
