See "Ammunition" chapter. REMOVAL OF CHOKE TUBE 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.

CAUTION: The safety can only be inserted with the hammer cocked. The hammer is cocked by pulling back the breech bolt. When the safety button shows the red ring, the SAFETY IS DISENGAGED, so the firearm is ready for use. When the red ring is not visible on the safety button, the SAFETY IS ENGAGED. • Unscrew the choke tube, in an anticlockwise direction, with the spanner provided (Fig. 32). • Remove the choke tube from the muzzle of the barrel (Fig. 33).
