BEFORE REMOVING OR INSTALLING ANY CHOKE TUBE:
a. Move the safety button fully to the right to the “ON” (SAFE) position and keep
muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
b. Open the action, visually and physically check chamber, elevator and magazine
tube to be certain firearm is unloaded.
Do not use bent or deformed tubes as these may result in tube or barrel damage or
personal injury upon firing. Inspect tubes periodically to insure they are properly
installed and in good condiiton. Pay special attention to the threaded end of
the tube to be certain it is not deformed or dented.
Never fire the shotgun without a choke tube properly installed. Failure to do so
will damage the precision threads on the inside of the barrel, and may cause
damage to the barrel and personal injury.
CARE & CLEANING: The precision threads on your choke tube should be kept clean
and lightly oiled at all times.
During cleaning of the barrel, be certain a choke tube is properly installed. This will
avoid residue build-up on threads.
The “Improved Cylinder” choke tube will produce the best accuracy with most slugs.
