Assembly
Lubricate gun as described on page 26
(Maintenance). Make sure both ejectors are
pushed in. Open the top lever. Holding the
barrels in the left hand as shown, brace the
muzzle between your legs. Hold the receiver
and stock by the pistol grip with the right
hand and engage the barrels into the action
at about a 45% angle, using pressure with
the ball of the left hand to direct the barrels
onto the pivots (see illus. No. 1). Using a
rocking motion up and down, seat the barrel
cutouts fully onto the pivots. Rotate the bar-
rels on the pivots slightly to be certain that
they are firmly seated, and then close the
gun fully. Holding the assembled barrel and
action in one hand, push the cocking levers
up so that their axis is parallel to that of the
barrels. With the free hand place the forend
around the bottom barrel and then move
it down so that the slots at the rear of the
forend iron engage the cocking levers. The
forearm can then be firmly pressed up into
the latched position against the barrels. Make
sure that the latch engages fully. Avoid strik-
ing the underside of the barrels or the receiver
with the sharp edges of the forend iron.
Disassembly
Disassemble the gun in the reverse order.
Remove the forend. Then open the top lever
and carefully remove the barrels by gently
rocking and rotating them until they are
disengaged from the pivots. Do not attempt
to pry them off with a single motion because
this may damage the finish of the bottom
barrel or the receiver.
