DISASSEMBLY

Position the safety button so it is protruding fully out the right side of the
trigger guard indicating the “ON” (SAFE) position, and
visually and physically check the chamber, elevator and magazine tube
to be certain the shotgun is unloaded before disassembling the firearm.
Wear eye protection during disassembly and cleaning.

REMOVING THE FOREARM

Visually and physically check the chamber and magazine to make sure the
shotgun is unloaded. Pull the bolt operating handle back as far as it will go— it
should stay locked. Unscrew the magazine cap (counter clockwise) and remove it.
(See Figure 9a). Slide the forearm toward the muzzle, and remove it. (See Figure 9b).

REMOVING THE BARREL

After removing the forearm, hold the bolt operating handle and press the bolt release
button. Allow the bolt to slowly travel fully forward. With the bolt fully forward, pull the
barrel out of the receiver with the gas piston assembled in the gas cylinder portion of
the barrel (See Figure 10). Note: If the gas piston remains on the magazine tube after
the barrel is removed slide the gas piston forward to remove it.
