3. Using your fingers, screw the appropriate tube into
the muzzle end of the barrel, tapered end first,
notched end outward. When it becomes finger tight,
use the Invector-Plus choke tube wrench to firmly
seat the tube.
THE INVECTOR-PLUS CHOKE TUBES SHOULD BE
PERIODICALLY CHECKED TO ASSURE THAT THEY ARE
TIGHT AND FIRMLY SEATED. BEFORE CHECKING,
FOLLOW THE SAFETY GUIDELINES OUTLINED ABOVE.

The Invector-Plus choke system is fully compatible with
factory lead, tungsten, bismuth or steel shot loads. The
conversion chart includes lead, tungsten, bismuth and
steel shot information. Lead and steel shot perform
differently in tubes with the same choke constriction.
For this reason, both lead and steel designations have
proven necessary. In fact, larger steel shot diameters result
in different patterns than smaller steel shot sizes. Each
designation is inscribed on each choke tube.
To help you choose the correct choke tube for each
shooting situation, all Invector-Plus choke tubes are
inscribed on the side with abbreviations for the patterns
they produce with both lead and steel shot.
Each tube also features identification notches located on
the top rim of each tube (Figure 18). These notches allow
you to determine the choke designation while the tube is
installed. Rim notches refer specifically to lead shot. You
will need to use the chart on page 22 to cross-reference
from lead to steel, and determine the appropriate tubes for
your ammunition and hunting/shooting situation.
It is helpful to note that bismuth shot responds similarly to
lead shot and tungsten shot responds more like steel shot.

Some Select shotguns are fitted with a special trigger
shoe system that allows you to make small adjustments
to the length of pull. This feature is usually found on
target models where shooters benefit from highly
customized settings.
It is easy to change the length of pull using the 1.5 mm
Allen (hex head) wrench included with your firearm.
BEFORE PERFORMING THIS ADJUSTMENT, ALWAYS MAKE
CERTAIN THERE ARE NO SHELLS IN THE CHAMBERS AND
THE SAFETY IS IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.
1. Place your firearm on its side on a secure, padded
surface to prevent marring the finish.
2. Using the Allen wrench provided (any good 1.5mm
Allen wrench will work) loosen the trigger shoe from
the trigger plate by inserting the wrench from the
