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. [. . . ] Now fully squeeze/depress the locking lever and hold with one hand. Holding the barrel with one 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 barrel engaged into the receiver, swing the barrel up into the locked position, release the locking lever, which should move back to the fully locked position. (See Pictures 19, 20 and 21). 10 Instructions For Assembly Of Shotgun (cont'd) Picture 19 Picture 20 Picture 21 4. Now that the barrel has been locked into the receiver, you must reattach the fore end to the barrel. Pull the forearm latch out and place the fore end on receiver.

While it may be necessary to push the latch into its final flat position, never force the latch into position. (See Picture 22). Picture 22 Loading and Unloading Your Shotgun WARNING Never load or fire the shotgun unless the barrel is locked into position on the receiver, and the fore end is locked in to the receiver and barrel. 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 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. The barrel is marked with the gauge and chamber size. 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 chamber and barrel for obstructions by breaking open the shotgun by depressing the locking lever and tipping the barrel down. The chamber and barrel should be free of oil or grease or obstructions. After inspection, load the correct type of shot shell into the chamber making sure that the shells are flush with the extractor (See Pictures 24 and 25), then close the action by swinging the barrel up until it locks into the receiver and the locking latch should move to its fully locked position (See Picture 26). If the locking lever does not move to the fully locked position, break open the action again and check to see if the shot shell is fully seated in the chamber. If the shell is fully seated then re-close the action. If the shot shell is not fully seated, check the chamber for blockage and check the shell for deformation and retry closing the action once more. [. . . ] 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. DO NOT fire slugs in Modified, Improved Modified or Full lead shot choke tubes or steel shot choke tubes. Correctly installed choke tubes: Lead shot choke tubes should fit flush or slightly below the muzzle end of the barrel. [. . . ]
