For safe and dependable

operation of your firearm, all parts of your gun must be properly cleaned and lubricated.

Periodically inspect the internal workings of your firearm to be sure they're clean and free of rust, unwanted dirt

and debris.

Use recommended lubricants

on your gun and do not over-lubricate. The use of a non-recommended lubricant could

adversely affect the function and safe operation of your firearm. Remember, you are responsible for the proper care

and maintenance of your firearm. Failure to properly maintain your firearm cannot only damage or ruin your firearm,

it can expose you and others to unnecessary risks of personal injury or death.

Remington® has a wide range

of firearm care products and resources for best results when cleaning your gun.

Everything from solvents and lubricants to rods and patches. They're all available from your Remington dealer.

LEARN THE MECHANICS AND HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OF YOUR FIREARM.

Not all guns are alike.

They have different mechanical characteristics that dictate how you should carry and handle

them. Anyone who plans to use a firearm should first become totally familiar with the type of firearm it is and the safe

handling procedures for loading, unloading, carrying, shooting and storing it.

Before you even unpack

your new Remington firearm, read this instruction book from

cover to cover and familiarize yourself with the different component parts of the

gun. Then read, understand and follow the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety

in this book.

WARNING! Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms

or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead, a substance known

to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, cancer and other serious physical

injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after

exposure.

SHOOT SOBER!!

There's one other rule that must be followed when handling firearms. In fact, respect for this rule is necessary in order

to effectively practice the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety. The rule is: SHOOT SOBER! Guns and alcohol or

drugs make a deadly combination. Never consume anything that would mildly impair your judgment or physical coor-

dination when you're using a firearm. A staggering percentage of the shooting accidents that occur every year involve

alcohol or drugs. Be smart. Always shoot sober and stay alive.

WARNING! Failure to follow any of these safety rules may cause personal injury or death to the shooter or bystander

and damage to property. Do not use a firearm until you fully understand and practice the Ten Commandments of

Firearm Safety. If you have any questions about the safe use of a Remington firearm, write to us at Remington Arms

Company, Inc., Consumer Service, P.O. Box 700, Madison, NC 27025-0700, or call us at 1-800-243-9700.

DON'T KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF.

Now that you're a gun owner

you have the obligation to help ensure that shooting sports are safe for everyone - par-

ticipants and bystanders alike. You can do that by practicing these principles of firearm safety and passing them on to

others - especially new shooters. Set an example for beginners. Be a guide to their safe entry into the exciting world of

shooting sports. Invest your time and patience for the love of the sport and for its future. After all, it's your love of the

sport that led you to buy a new Remington.

Firearm ownership

is a right and privilege. It's a right guaranteed in this nation's Constitution. It's a privilege, which

carries with it a personal responsibility to use your firearm in a way which will ensure your safety and the safety of

others. The preservation of this right and privilege depends on the personal commitment of you and your fellow

shooters to the safe and responsible use of firearms. Let the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety outlined in the

book guide you at all times. Teach and promote these rules whenever you can. Remember, firearm safety depends on

you! That's the only way to really enjoy your new Remington firearm and to preserve sport shooting as we know it

today.

Remington® Model 887™ NitroMag™ Pump Action Shotgun

Congratulations on your choice of a Remington®. With proper care, it should give you many years

of dependable use and enjoyment. For best results, we recommend that you use Remington

Ammunition - the ammunition used in factory testing your firearm against our rigorous function and

performance standards.

PICTURE 1

This picture shows the main parts of a REMINGTON® MODEL 887™ NitroMag™ Pump Action

Shotgun. The picture will aid in understanding the instructions.

GENERAL OPERATION

The Remington Model 887™ NitroMag™ is a

pump operated shotgun, incorporating a

steel barrel and receiver over molded with

high strength polymer. It is capable of firing

multiple shots with each cycle of the action

and pull of the trigger. At the start of the fir-

ing cycle after a chambered shell is dis-

charged the bolt unlocks. As the fore-end or

action is opened, the spent shell is pulled

from the chamber and expelled out of the

receiver through the ejection port. As the

fore-end continues rearward the hammer is

cocked and the trigger is reset. When the

fore-end is in the full rear position, a shell is

released from the magazine onto the carrier.

As the fore-end is moved forward the carrier

rises and places the new shell in front of the

bolt. When the fore-end is moved fully for-

ward, the new shot shell is chambered by

the bolt and the bolt locks into position,

completing the cycle.

SERIAL NUMBER, SHOTSHELL

GAUGE AND LENGTH

The serial number is located on the bottom

of the receiver. See

Picture 2.

Specifications for the gauge and length of

the shotshells intended for use in your shot-

gun are located on the shooter’s left side of

the barrel.

WARNING! Only use the specified gauge and

length shotshell ammunition specified for your

shotgun as designated on the barrel. See “To

Load Your Firearm”.

IMPORTANT PARTS OF

THE FIREARM

The Safety Mechanism

The safety mechanism of the Model 887™

NitroMag™ shotgun provides protection

against accidental or unintentional discharge

under normal usage when properly engaged

and in good working order.

The safety mechanism is not a substitute for

following the rules of safe gun handling.

The cross-bolt type safety prevents the trig-

ger from being pulled when engaged in the

"ON" or "SAFE" position.

To engage the safety mechanism for right-

handed guns, push the "safety button" locat-

ed at the rear of the trigger guard to the

shooter's right until the button stops and

the RED BAND MARKING CANNOT BE

SEEN. See Picture 3.
