Your Select shotgun is now fully assembled and the action

is closed. Make sure the safety is in the “on safe” position

before proceeding.

ISASSEMBLY

Disassembling your Select shotgun into its two assembly

components is an ideal way to ready your shotgun for

storage and cleaning. Many luggage-style cases require

doing this. It is also a way to add an extra measure of

safety when storing your firearm around the home.

BEFORE DISASSEMBLING YOUR SHOTGUN, ALWAYS
MAKE CERTAIN THERE ARE NO SHELLS IN THE CHAM-
BERS AND THE SAFETY IS IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.

1. Open the action by pushing the top lever all the way

to the right and pulling the barrels downward to

visually make sure the chambers are empty. Once

you are sure your shotgun is unloaded, close the action

and make sure that the safety is still in the “on safe”

position. If not, move it there immediately.

2. Place the butt of your shotgun on your thigh for

support. Remove the forearm by pulling outward on

the forearm release latch and pushing the forearm

away from the barrels with your other hand (Figure 11).

Pull the front-most end of the forearm away and

slightly forward, completely detaching it from the

barrel set and the front of the receiver.

3. Separate the barrels from the receiver by holding the

stock of the shotgun securely in your right hand and

the barrels in your left. Push the top lever to the right
