Winchester Repeating Arms Supreme (Historic Manual) - Manual (Page 23)

It is important to treat your gun as though it is loaded
whenever the action is closed.
After you have completed firing you should either reload
the chamber(s) with unfired shells (if hunting/shooting is
going to continue) or fully unload your shotgun (if shoot-
ing is completed). Either way, always first place the safety
in the “on safe” position.
WHEN FIRING IS COMPLETED OR WHEN SHOOTING IS
NO LONGER IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY RETURN THE
SAFETY TO THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
YOU MOVE ON OR CONTINUE TO HUNT WITH YOUR
SAFETY IN THE FIRE POSITION.
I N THE C ASE OF A M ISFIRE
Only rarely will modern factory ammunition experience
a misfire. If this ever happens to you when shooting your
Supreme, please follow these instructions carefully.
CAUTION: IN CASE OF MISFIRE, KEEP THE BARREL
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, CAREFULLY OPEN
THE ACTION WHILE AVOIDING DIRECT EXPOSURE TO
THE BREECH BY YOURSELF AND OTHERS. REMOVE
THE SHELL FROM THE CHAMBER. FULLY UNLOAD
YOUR SHOTGUN, REMOVING THE OTHER SHELL.
Carefully inspect the shell removed from the chamber you
intended to fire. If the primer is indented, the shell should
be disposed of in a manner that would prevent accidental
injury to you, others, or the environment. If there is no
indentation, your gun may have malfunctioned. Make
certain you are following all firing procedures correctly.
If it fails to indent the firing pin again your shotgun has
malfunctioned and should be serviced by a qualified gun-
smith, or by a U.S. Repeating Arms Co. Authorized
Repair Center (ARC).

produce the best possible patterns for target and field situ-
ations. Plus, it is extremely easy to switch choke constric-
tions to match your shooting conditions. Invector-Plus
