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. [. . . ] Never attempt to fire your shotgun without having the fore end locked in its proper position on the barrel assembly. 10 The Barrel Selector (for Model 310 single-trigger shotguns only) (cont'd) Picture 21 The Serial Number: The shotgun's serial number is located on the top of the receiver underneath the top lever. 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. Instructions For Assembly Of Shotgun WARNING Before you begin to assemble the shotgun, you MUST (1) look down the barrel from the breech end toward the muzzle end to make sure there is no ammunition in the chambers or obstruction in the barrels, and (2) make sure the safety is in the "safe" position. Your shotgun was shipped with the barrel assembly (barrel and fore end) 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 fore end from the barrel by pulling outward on the mechanical lever in the lower mid-section of the fore end and tipping the fore end out and away from the barrel. (See Picture 22). Picture 22 11 Instructions For Assembly Of Shotgun (cont'd) 2. Now push the top lever of the receiver to the right and hold with one hand. 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 24, 25 and 26). Picture 24 Picture 25 Picture 26 4. Now that the barrels have been locked into the receiver, you must reattach the fore end to the barrel. Place the fore end on the front curve of the receiver (the angle between the fore end and barrels should be about 20 degrees). Keeping the contact between fore end and receiver with an upward swing motion, lock the fore end into the barrels. While it may be necessary to push the latch into its final flat position, never force the latch into position. (See Picture 27). Picture 27 12 Instructions For Assembly Of Shotgun (cont'd) 5. Warning: Never fire the gun unless the barrel is locked into position on the receiver and the fore end is locked into the receiver and barrels. Make sure the trigger block safety is engaged after completion of assembly (Red Dot covered) (See Picture 28).
