Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10 A B Engage the barrel lug's circular hinge pin recess with the action's hinge pin. Rotate the barrels completely upward, closing the action. 3 Attach the barrels to the action by grasping the buttstock's grip with your right hand and anchoring the buttstock between your right forearm and right side. With the thumb of your right hand, move and hold the top lever sideways to the extreme right. Grasp the barrels in the left hand and engage the barrel lug's circular hinge pin recess (A) with the action's (B) hinge pin (Figure 7). 4 While keeping pressure on the barrels to keep the hinge pin aligned in the barrel lug's circular recess, rotate the barrels upward, fully closing the action (Figure 8). Release the top lever. It should snap back into place. 5 Place the rear of the gun's buttstock against your upper leg and slide the projecting steel tab on the rear of the forearm bracket into the opposing recess in the receiver bottom (Figure 9). Pivot the forearm up to the barrel tightly. This will cause the forearm to engage onto the barrel. You should hear an audible "click" which signifies that the forearm is properly attached (Figure 10). NOTICE! When assembling your shotgun, do not use undue force when closing the action. If the top lever is not to the right or the action and barrels are not properly aligned undue force will only cause them to grind together and score or mar the finely fitted surfaces. 14 Slide the projecting steel tab on the rear of the forearm bracket into the opposing recess on the receiver bottom. The forearm engages on the barrel. You should hear an audible "click." Pivot the forearm up to the barrel until the forearm engages tightly on the barrel. You should hear an audible "click."
