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
Super X2, 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
ALL SHELLS FROM THE MAGAZINE.
Carefully inspect the ejected shell. 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 has
malfunctioned and should be serviced by a qualified
gunsmith, or by a U.S. Repeating Arms Co. Authorized
Repair Center (ARC).
M AGAZ I NE P LUG
The Super X2 is delivered with the magazine three shot
adapter (plug) installed in the magazine, limiting magazine
capacity to two shells in compliance with federal migratory
bird regulations. If you do not wish to be limited to three
shots — when it is not required by law — you can remove
the three shot 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 is under spring pressure so care must
be taken for safe removal. Always point the end of the
magazine away from your face and in a safe direction.
Never look directly down into the cap end of the open
magazine.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN
REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE
MAGAZINE’S 3-SHOT PLUG.
IMPORTANT: Use only the three-shot adapter supplied
with your Super X2 or a replacement part made specifical-
ly for your Super X2 shotgun by U.S. Repeating Arms.
This is a special three-shot adapter design that maximizes
the performance of your gun with any load. The use of
any other adapter may affect performance of the magazine
system.
Removal and installation can be performed with the barrel
in place or with the barrel removed from the action.
