Make sure that action slide, at the left side of the barrel, is clear forward. Grasp the barrel and magazine just ahead of the receiver extension, and insert the shank of the barrel into its place in the receiver in such a position that a quarter turn to the right will lock the barrel into the receiver. Turn the barrel one quarter turn to the right. Pull the action slide handle reanvard. Push out the magazine locking pin (the large pin in the front end of the magazine) as far as it will go. Push the magazine rearward into the receiver as far as it will go, and, holding it rearward, using the magazine locking pin as a lever, turn the magazine as far as possible to the right and push the magazine locking pin back into place. Important. Before firing the gun, be sure that the magazine is screwed into the receiver, SO as to prevent any forward movement of the magazine. The magazine must be locked in its screwed-in position in the receiver. This is done by pushing the magazine locking pin inward, so that its upper end lies against the left side of the barrel. Taking the Gun Apart Be sure hammer is down by pulling the trigger. Push out magazine locking pin. Unscrew the magazine one quarter turn and push the magazine clear forward. Push the action slide handle clear forward. Then, grasping the barrel and magazine just ahead of the receiver extension, unscrew the barrel one quarter turn, the magazine turning with the barrel. Pull out the barrel from the receiver. To T i g h t e n Ta k e - D o w n Should the gun become loose at the joint by wear, it may be readjusted as follows: Take the gun apart and remove the adjusting sleeve lock screw, found in rear side of receiver extension.

L o a d i n g a n d U n l o a d i n g t h e G u n The shells are loaded into the magazine through the bottom of the receiver, one shell after another being pressed against the carrier and forward into the maga zine. The action slide handle is then given a slight forward push and drawn com pletely backward and forward. This cocks the gun, throws a loaded shell into the chamber, and makes the gun ready for firing. To open the gun when cocked, press up the action slide lock on left side near the rear of the trigger guard, and pull back on action slide handle. To open when hammer is down, give the action slide handle a slight forward push before making the opening movement. This slight forward push is not necessary when firing, as the recoil of the gun gives the forward motion, and the ai-m is easily opened by the regular backward motion. To remove the loaded shells from the magazine without working them through the action, press up the carrier. They will then be forced out by the magazine spring. How to Use the Trigger Lock To lock the trigger, push the trigger lock from left to right. To unlock the trigger', push this lock from right to left, when the red band on the lock will be visible, which indicates that the gun is ready to be fired.

It has achieved succe.ss and popularity throughout the world, is in great demand for field shooting and is the standby of many expert trapshots. This success is due to the mechanical excellence of its design as manifested in its perform ance year in and year out, its strength to withstand long and hard use, and its hard hitting q u a l i t i e s a n d e x c e l l e n t b a l a n c e . The take-down system used on this gun is similar to that used on Winchester take-down rifles. It permits of the removal of the barrel from the receiver by a quarter turn. When taken down, the stock and action of the gun remain in one piece, and the barrel, magazine, and action slide in another, the last named parts being held together at the breech end by a piece called t h e r e c e i v e r e x t e n s i o n . To load the magazine, turn the gun, when closed, so that the under surface of the carrier block can be seen. Lay the shell upon this and push it into the magazine. The magazine will contain five shells, which, with one in the chamber, makes six at the command of the shooter. To unload the magazine, press inwardly on the buttons at right and left sides of the load ing opening in the receiver, allowing the sheils to escape rearwardly from the magazine. This gun has a recoil lock which prevents the slide handle from being pulled rearwardly until it has first been given a slight forward motion. This is accomplished automatically by the recoil when the gun is fired, but when the hammer has fallen without exploding a shell it must be done manually. To open the gun when at full cock, in addition to the slight forward motion explained above, a button on the right hand side must be pressed which releases the recoil lock. At half cock the gun is locked against opening or firing. The standard gun has a 30 inch, full choke barrel. The selected walnut pistol grip stock with composition rubber butt plate, is 13% inches in length, has a drop of 1% inches at comb a n d 2 % i n c h e s a t h e e l . Guns with cylinder bore or modified choke barrels will be furnished to order without extra charge. Guns with 26, 28 or 32 inch barrels will be furnished, when so ordered, without extra charge. Unless otherwise specified, all barrels will be furnished full choked. Interchangeable barrels for all grades complete with magazine, action slide, etc., can be furnished.
