Loading and Unloading Your Shotgun (cont’d)

TO LOAD:

1. Make sure the ammunition that you are using is the correct size and gauge. The barrels are marked with

the gauge and chamber size. Barrels marked 3” (76mm) will use only 2

” (70mm) or 3”(76mm) shot

shells and must not be used with 3

” (89mm) shells. Barrels marked with 2

” (70mm) will use only

” (70mm) and must not be used with or 3” (76mm) or 3

” (89mm) shells.

2. Visually inspect the chambers and barrels for obstructions by breaking open the shotgun by depressing

the locking lever and tipping the barrels down. The chambers and barrels should be free of oil or grease

or obstructions. (See

Picture 19).

3. After inspection, load the correct type of shot shells into the chambers making sure that the shells are

flush with the extractor (See

Pictures 20 and 21), then close the action by swinging the barrels up until

they lock into the receiver and the top lever moves back to the center position. If the top lever does not

move to the center, break open the action again and check to see if the shot shells are fully seated in the

chambers. If the shells are fully seated then re-close the action. If the shot shells are not fully seated,

check the chamber for blockage and check the shells for deformation and retry closing the action once

more. If the shells are the correct type and the chambers are not blocked and the shells are not deformed

and the top lever does not move at least three quarters of the full travel distance to the center after

closing, then unload the gun (follow Unloading Instructions) and have a competent gunsmith look at the

shotgun or return the gun to Remington I.S.P. (See address in Parts & Service Section) for

inspection. Note: The top lever may not move completely to the center on a new shotgun until the gun is

broken in. The lever must move at least three quarters of the full travel distance. Try and move the top

lever to the center position by pushing it, do not force it.
