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. [. . . ] The fore end has a mechanical latch which is used to lock and unlock the fore end to the barrel. NEVER attempt to fire your shotgun without having the fore end locked in its proper position on the barrel. Picture 15 Picture 16 9 Instructions For Assembly Of Shotgun WARNING Before you begin to assemble the shotgun, you MUST (1) look down the barrel from the breech end to make sure there is no ammunition in the chamber or obstruction in the barrel, 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. 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 while pulling the lever out. 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. 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. 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 shot shell is not fully seated, check the chamber for blockage and check the shell for deformation and retry closing the action once more. If the shell is the correct type and the chamber is not blocked and the shell is not deformed and the locking lever does not move to its fully locked position (See Picture 27), unload the gun (follow Unloading Instructions) and have a competent gunsmith look at the gun or return the gun to Remington I. S. P. Do not force the shotgun closed. Picture 24 Picture 25 Picture 26 Picture 27 12 Loading and Unloading Your Shotgun (cont'd) TO UNLOAD: 1. Break open the shotgun by depressing the locking lever and tipping the barrel down. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
