OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Section I. SERVICE UPON RECEIPT OF MATERIAL
2-1. INITIAL INSPECTION
Upon initial receipt, the shotgun is to be inspected to ensure it was received
in proper working order.

ACTION

b. SAFETY. When in the locked "ON" position, the safety prevents the firing
of the weapon.
c. TRIGGER. The trigger controls the firing of the weapon.
2-3
2-4
2-5
d. Ejection - Near the end of the rearward stroke, the shotshell, which is
captured between the extractors and the bolt face, strikes the ejector and is
pivoted out through the ejection port.
e. Cocking - As the bolt moves to the rear, it cams back the hammer
assembly and depresses the disconnector, disengaging it from the sear.
When the disconnector is depressed; the sear is able to reengage the sear
notch in the hammer after the bolt slide has been moved fully to the rear.
When the bolt is returned to the fully locked position, the action bar lock is
released by the bolt slide and moves up behind the back end of the bolt slide
to block any rearward movement. Simultaneously the disconnector moves
up and, if the trigger is released after firing, the disconnector will reengage
the sear. This prevents accidental firing when closing the action.
f. Feeding - As the bolt slide nears the end of its rearward movement, it
cams the elevator to its lowered position. The bolt slide also cams the
cartridge interrupter into position to block the second shell from being
released. Next, the cartridge stop is cammed out of the way by the left hand
action bar allowing the shell to be pushed onto the elevator by the magazine
follower.
2-6
g. Chambering - When the bolt slide moves forward, it cams the elevator up,
bringing the shell into alignment with the chamber. As the shell is pushed
forward by the bolt into the chamber, it is captured by the extractors. When
the bolt nears the limit of its forward travel, the right hand action bar cams
the cartridge interrupter down, releasing the next shell to rest against the
cartridge stop. The feeding/chambering cycle is now complete.
h. Locking - On the return cycle, as the fore-end is moved forward, the lug
on top of the bolt slide contacts the camming surface on the bottom of the
bolt lock. When the bolt is moved forward, the top front end of the bolt lock
is cammed up, locking into the barrel extension. The new round is now
ready to be fired.
2-5. SAFETY FEATURES
A manual safety device has been provided which prevents firing of the
shotgun when at the "ON" safe position. The safety button is manually moveable
between the safe detent position and the fire detent position and will remain in the
position set until reset manually. The user must ensure the safety button is
manually set in the "ON" or "SAFE" position. When the safety is "OFF", a red ring
is visible around the safety button, indicating the weapon is fireable.
2-7
2-8
2-9
8. Insert thumb into the opening in the bottom of the receiver and
depress cartridge stop to release shells one at a time. Repeat until all
cartridges are removed from the magazine tube.
9. Depress the action bar lock and pull the fore-end completely rearward.
Visually inspect the chamber and magazine tube again to ensure no
cartridges remain in the shotgun.
10. Leave the action in the open, rearward position and the safety button
in the "ON" position.
CAUTION
IF THE MAGAZINE TUBE CONTAINS AMMUNITION, THIS PROCEDURE WILL
CAUSE THE WEAPON TO DOUBLE FEED.
2-7. LOADING AND UNLOADING THE SHOTGUN
a. Single Load
1. Push safety to "ON" position.
2-10
2-11
c. Unloading Shotgun
1. Removing Cartridge from the Chamber.
(a) Push safety to "ON" position.
(b) Push in action bar lock and slide fore-end to the rear to eject

(c) Catch the ejected cartridge from chamber.
(d) Visually inspect chamber for cartridge.
(e) If a cartridge is present on carrier, rotate shotgun to the right and
catch the cartridge as it falls from the ejection port.
2. Remove Cartridge from Magazine.
(a) Push safety to "ON" position.
(b) Turn shotgun over.
2-12
3. Remove cartridges from magazine tube by pressing both right and left
shell latches until the magazine tube is clear.
2-8. LOAD CHAMBER FROM MAGAZINE
a. Push safety to "ON" position.
b. If gun is cocked, press in on action bar lock.
c. Pull the fore-end fully to the rear.
d. Push the fore-end forcefully forward to close the action and feed shell into
the chamber.
e. Combat Loading.
1. Single load will operate well assuming the magazine contains no
ammunition; otherwise two rounds will be in the receiver. This could
be used if combat loading is authorized by your Command.
