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. [. . . ] Note that if the plastic spring cap is in the magazine tube, then the magazine capacity is decreased by one round. (See Picture 28). Picture 28 13 Loading and Unloading Your Shotgun (cont'd) TO UNLOAD: 1. Make sure the trigger block safety is engaged and your fingers are away from the trigger. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Draw back the bolt until a cartridge is ejected or the bolt has traveled to the rear fully. If there was no cartridge in the chamber, nothing will be ejected. Slide the bolt back forward until it is fully closed. Repeat the drawing back of the bolt while depressing the carrier stop button until no more rounds are ejected from the shotgun. Picture 29 2. When you have ejected the last round from the shotgun, pull the bolt fully to the rear. The bolt should lock in the rearward position. With the bolt locked back, visually inspect the chamber to insure that it is empty. You should also look down into the receiver through the ejection port and verify that the magazine tube is empty. (See Picture 30). Picture 30 If for some reason a cartridge in the magazine tube will not rise up into the chamber to be ejected, after repeated attempts to manually cycle the shotgun, perform the following steps: A) Manually close the bolt by depressing the bolt release button. B) Turn over the shotgun so that the trigger guard is facing you (upward). Depress the carrier latch button and then depress the carrier latch. C) With the same finger that you are depressing the carrier latch, depress the Shell Latch. The Shell Latch is located on your left hand side with the shotgun in the upside down position. It is the piece of metal that should be holding the Picture 31 round in the magazine tube. The cartridge should slide up and out of the magazine with your guidance. Note: the cartridge is under spring tension. Repeat this process until the magazine tube is empty. Turn the shotgun over and lock the bolt back and verify that the gun is empty. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
