EN 28 REASSEMBLY WARNING: Always check that the shotgun is unloaded (empty cartridge chamber, empty receiver, empty magazine). Inspect the firearm by looking through the ejection port, the loading gate and the chamber. If it is not empty, unload it as instructed in the relevant section. WARNING: Never point the firearm at someone or at hard, flat surfaces. Always treat the shotgun as if it were loaded. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES). TRIGGER PLATE • Work in reverse order to assembly, taking care to ensure that the hammer is cocked (Fig. 23), the safety is engaged and the carrier stop push button is pressed down. • Keeping the release button pressed well down, make the rear part of the trigger plate adhere precisely to the receiver and push firmly towards the stock, as far as it will go. • Rotate the trigger plate until it is inserted in its housing in the receiver. • Insert the trigger guard retaining pin only when the hole of the trigger guard is centred on the receiver. BREECH BOLT ASSEMBLY (Breech bolt, operating rods with sleeve, recoil spring, and piston stop). • Working on a flat surface with the ejection port turned up, mount the breech bolt assembly, operating rods with sleeve, recoil spring and piston stop on the magazine tube (Fig. 24). • Push the operating rods with sleeve all the way in to insert the breech bolt into the receiver. • Press the head of the breech bolt until the groove on its neck corresponds to the edge of the bolt body. • Keeping the head pressed down in this position, insert the cocking handle on the breech bolt. Fasten it into position by hitting it firmly (Fig. 25). BARREL • Check the barrel. The barrel and cartridge chamber must be clean and free from obstructions. • Insert the piston into the gas cylinder of the barrel, tightening the elastic seal with the fingers to make it easier to install the piston in the cylinder (Fig. 26). • Check that the carrier stop push button is pressed all the way down. If it is not, push it all the way down (Fig. 1).

REASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always check that the shotgun is unloaded (empty cartridge
chamber, empty receiver, empty magazine). Inspect the firearm by looking
through the ejection port, the loading gate and the chamber. If it is not empty,
unload it as instructed in the relevant section.
WARNING:
Never point the firearm at someone or at hard, flat surfaces. Always
treat the shotgun as if it were loaded. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC
SAFETY RULES).
TRIGGER PLATE
• Work in reverse order to assembly, taking care to ensure that the hammer is
cocked (
Fig. 23
), the safety is engaged and the carrier stop push button is
pressed down.
• Keeping the release button pressed well down, make the rear part of the
trigger plate adhere precisely to the receiver and push firmly towards the
stock, as far as it will go.
• Rotate the trigger plate until it is inserted in its housing in the receiver.
• Insert the trigger guard retaining pin only when the hole of the trigger guard is
centred on the receiver.
BREECH BOLT ASSEMBLY
(Breech bolt, operating rods with sleeve, recoil spring, and piston stop).
• Working on a flat surface with the ejection port turned up, mount the breech
bolt assembly, operating rods with sleeve, recoil spring and piston stop on
the magazine tube (
Fig. 24
).
• Push the operating rods with sleeve all the way in to insert the breech bolt into
the receiver.
• Press the head of the breech bolt until the groove on its neck corresponds to
the edge of the bolt body.
• Keeping the head pressed down in this position, insert the cocking handle on
the breech bolt. Fasten it into position by hitting it firmly (
Fig. 25
).
BARREL
• Check the barrel. The barrel and cartridge chamber must be clean and free
from obstructions.
• Insert the piston into the gas cylinder of the barrel, tightening the elastic seal
with the fingers to make it easier to install the piston in the cylinder (
Fig. 26
).
• Check that the carrier stop push button is pressed all the way down. If it is
not, push it all the way down (
Fig. 1
).
