UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING SHOTGUN
When shipped from the factory, the barrel is removed and packed separately in
the shipping carton. Before installing the barrel, visually and physically inspect
the barrel and receiver to ensure they are free of any excess oil, grease, or any
obstructions. Obstructions of any kind can cause damage to the firearm and may
result in serious personal injury to the shooter and/or others nearby.
MOUNTING THE BARREL TO THE RECEIVER
Remove the forearm by unscrewing the magazine cap (counter clockwise). Slide
the forearm off the magazine tube. Check that the gas piston is correctly
assembled in the gas cylinder portion of the barrel before mounting the barrel
to the receiver. Note the orientation of the gas piston (See Figure 2b). Mount the
barrel to the receiver by sliding the barrel into the receiver, with the gas cylinder
portion of the barrel on the magazine tube (See Figure 2a). Pull the operating
handle half way back to fully seat the barrel in the receiver (See Figure 2c).
