[. . . ] Once the trigger is pulled to fire the first barrel, release the trigger. The second barrel is then ready to be fired by pulling the trigger again. The Barrel Selector (for single trigger models only): Once the shotgun is loaded, you may manually set the shotgun to fire a specific barrel first by using the barrel selector. The barrel selector is a button on the trigger. When the button is pushed fully to the right (listen for an audible "click"), the first pull of the trigger will fire the right Figure 12 barrel, and the second pull of the trigger will fire the left barrel. When the barrel selector button is pushed fully to the left (again listen for an audible "click"), the first pull of the trigger will fire the left barrel, and the second pull of the trigger will fire the right barrel. 12 WARNING When selecting a barrel, make sure the safety is "on" and the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. NEVER use the barrel selector when the safety is in the "off" or "fire" position. Once you have used the barrel selector button to select the desired barrel, remove your finger from inside the trigger guard until you are ready to fire. The Forend: The forend is the wooden grip piece which attaches to the barrel assembly and locks the barrel assembly into the receiver. The forend has a mechanical latch which is used to lock and unlock the forend to the barrel assembly. Never attempt to fire your shotgun without having the forend locked in its proper position on the barrel assembly. Figure 13 DIRECTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY OF SHOTGUN: WARNING Before you begin to assemble the shotgun, you MUST (1) look down the barrels from the breech end toward the muzzle end to make sure there is no ammunition in the chambers or obstructions in the barrels, and (2) make sure the safety is in the "safe" position. Your shotgun was shipped with the barrel assembly (barrels and forend) detached from the receiver assembly. To assemble the shotgun, follow these instructions: 1) Remove the plastic bags or wrapping covering the parts. Then remove the forend from the barrel by pulling outward on the mechanical lever in the lower midsection of the forend and tipping the forend out and away from the barrel. 2) Now push the top lever to the right and hold with one hand. 3) Holding the barrels with other hand, engage the lower locking lug located on the lower portion of the barrels with the receiver. The half-round cut out on Figure 15 Figure 14 13 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 Figure 16 (a, b, c). Figure 16a Figure 16b Figure 16c 4) Now that the barrels have been locked into the receiver, you must reattach the forend to the barrels. Pull outward on the mechanical latch in the center of the forend and place the forend on the receiver. [. . . ] 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. DO NOT fire steel shot or slugs in Modified, Improved Modified or Full lead shot choke tubes. If you have steel shot choke tubes, you may fire steel shot cartridges through any of those choke tubes.
