The Gold shotgun is delivered in the box, with the barrel removed
and the forearm still attached to the magazine tube. It is important to
follow the exact sequence for assembly in steps 1 and 2, in order to
properly assemble your Gold shotgun.
Always place the safety in the “on safe” position before assembly
procedures and check your gun carefully to be certain that the
chamber, feed mechanism and magazine contain no shells.
1
Take the receiver in hand. First, lock the bolt rearward by pulling
the operating handle fully to the rear. Remove the forearm from the
magazine tube by unscrewing the magazine cap and sliding the
forearm forward, off the magazine tube.
Do not squeeze hard on the open rear end of the forearm. Too much
pressure could cause the wood to split.

Components of the gas system — the sleeve, sleeve spring and gas
