HAMMER EXTENSION
Some Model 9410 rifles are supplied with a hammer
extension. A hammer extension is useful when a scope is
mounted. It extends to the side, making it convenient to
cock and lower the hammer even with a low-mounted scope.
The hammer extension can be used in either the right
hand or left hand position. To install, coat the hammer
extension threads with Loctite
® thread locking compound.
Position the round hollow edge to the left or right as
preferred and fully tighten the hammer extension in the
tapped hole in the hammer (Figure 21). (Right-handed
shooters usually prefer mounting the extension to the
right side.)
WARNING: HAMMER EXTENSIONS CAN
LOOSEN WITH USE. OCCASIONALLY CHECK
TO MAKE SURE YOUR HAMMER EXTENSION
IS STILL ON TIGHTLY. PROPER MOUNTING
OF THE HAMMER EXTENSION IS IMPORTANT
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.
It is important to familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
operation and use of the hammer extension and your
firearm prior to using live ammunition.
M AGAZINE P LUG
The 9410 is delivered with a three-shot adapter plug
included in the box. This plug limits magazine capacity to
two shells in compliance with federal migratory bird
(doves are migratory birds) regulations and regulations in
some states. If you do not wish to be limited to three shots
total — when it is not required by law — you can remove
the adapter plug.
WHEN REMOVING THE PLUG, BE CERTAIN
THERE ARE NO SHELLS IN THE MAGAZINE
OR CHAMBER AND KEEP THE BARREL AND
MAGAZINE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION
AT ALL TIMES.
Remember, the plug and magazine cap are under spring
pressure, so care must be taken for safe removal. Always
Insert the
threaded end into
the threaded hole
and tighten
