 WARNING

YOU RISK PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH BY

HANDLING THIS FIREARM

Before handling any firearm, make sure you know the safety
procedures and most importantly, keep the firearm pointed
in a safe direction.

Before handling this shotgun, read, understand and follow

the instructions in this manual. Always keep this manual
with the shotgun. If you lend, give or sell this shotgun, be
sure the manual goes with it. If there is anything you do not
understand, seek advice from someone qualified in safe
handling of firearms. You must ALWAYS obey the following:

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY

1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction,

away from any person, animal, dwelling, vehicle, or
anything else that could be injured or damaged.

2. Firearms should be unloaded and secured when not

actually in use.

3. Do not rely on your firearm’s safety.

4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

5. Use only proper ammunition matching the precise

gauge of your specified shotgun.

6. If your shotgun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled,

handle with care. Keep it pointed in a safe direction
until you are able to safely unload it.

7. Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting.

Page
10
 8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before
shooting.

9. Do not alter or modify your firearm, and have it

serviced regularly.

10. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of

your shotgun.

11. Shoot sober!

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR

LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before

using this shotgun. Please ask you dealer for names of
qualified instructors near you. All guns are extremely
dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the
firearm user is the primary “safety” and that reliance on any
mechanical safety device should never replace safe handling
procedures.

This shotgun WILL FIRE if a shotshell is in the chamber and

the trigger is pulled while the safety is disengaged.

DO NOT LOAD THIS SHOTGUN UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND

HOW IT OPERATES. Keep this shotgun unloaded at all times
except when you are ready to fire and are sure of your target.

ALWAYS carry this shotgun in a case or the original box

unloaded.

NEVER point this shotgun at anything that is not your

intended target even if the shotgun is unloaded. When
loading, unloading, cleaning or handling, always be sure the
muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and always keep your
finger off the trigger.

Page
11
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check

to make sure the chamber is empty. See Unloading
Instructions on pg 20. Make sure you know that this or any
firearm is fully unloaded before displaying or handling it.
When handling any firearm, keep your fingers away from the
trigger at all times until you intend to fire.

Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before

using this or any firearm. Learn from a professional how to
handle, load, unload, operate, fire and care for your gun.

NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a

very dangerous weapon that can cause serious personal
injury or death.

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every

gun as if it is loaded...all the time. NEVER point any firearm
(loaded or unloaded) at any person or anything you do not
intend to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded until ready
to use and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.

Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually
aiming at the target and ready to shoot. Learn to rest your
finger outside of the trigger guard.

Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun

handling. A safety is only a mechanical device, not a
substitute for using common sense and following gun safety
procedures.

Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall.

Page
12
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Store guns and ammunition separately, beyond the reach of

children. Make sure your guns and ammunition are properly
secured so untrained individuals and children will be denied
access to your guns and ammunition.

Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting

range while the firearm is pointed in a safe direction.

Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what

your projectile will hit if it misses the target or passes
through the intended target. Remember, a fired projectile can
travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and is capable of
going through walls. Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or
water....bullets ricochet.

Guns, alcohol and/or drugs do not mix. Do not take any

alcoholic beverages and/or drugs before or during shooting
activities.

Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Do not climb a

tree, or cross a ditch or fence with a loaded gun.

Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat,

RV, camp, or any other building or mode of transportation.

When receiving a gun, always open the action and check to

make sure the chamber is unloaded while keeping your
finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard.

NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or

“empty”. You should immediately open the action and check
to make sure it is unloaded, again keeping your finger off the
trigger.

Page
13
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are

deadly at close range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your
ammunition is new and in good clean condition. Do NOT oil
or grease ammunition as this may damage the shotshell
primer. Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory
ammunition.

Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the

gun only when on the range preparing to fire, and unload it
before leaving the range.

Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.

ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing

protection when using firearms.

Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from

the shooter while the shooter is loading, shooting, and
unloading. Spectators should wear eye and ear protection
and avoid distracting those shooting their firearms.

Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check to
ensure the shotgun functions properly before using it again.

Do NOT alter or modify your shotgun. Do not try to change

your gun’s trigger pull, because it may affect sear
engagement and thereby cause accidental firing. Any
alterations and/or modifications to your shotgun will void
the warranty.

Do NOT remove any internal safety or external safety devices

on the firearm. Safety mechanisms are designed to help
protect you from personal injury or death. Any alterations
and/or modifications to your shotgun will void the warranty.

Page
14
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Properly maintain and keep your shotgun clean. Keep it in a

dry place away from other metals and water. If your gun
shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have it
serviced by a competent gunsmith.

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and

unloading your gun. Never point the muzzle at anyone.

Never let water, snow, mud, or other material enter the

barrel. Always be sure the barrel is free of any obstruction.

Use the correct ammunition for your firearm. Do NOT use the
wrong size or wrong strength ammunition in your firearm.

Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges,

shells, flares, or any explosive device and 2. That if they
discover such a dangerous item or weapon, they must
immediately report its location to their parents, school
teacher, or police.

Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or

the life of someone else. Be careful with your firearm - an
accident is almost always the result of not following basic
safety rules.

 Basic Parts Description (con’t)
Safety Features: Figure 1

Trigger Block Safety:

This safety blocks the trigger to
prevent it from being pulled.
When the safety is pushed to the
left, it shows red and the gun is
ready to fire (Figure 1). When the
safety is pushed to the right, no
red will show and the safety is
engaged (Figure 2). The safety Figure 2
should remain engaged at all
times until ready to fire. The
pump action will work with the
safety engaged.

Never squeeze the trigger unless pointed in a safe

direction, even if the safety is activated.

Page

 Operation of the Shotgun

IMPORTANT!!! Anytime you pick up your shotgun, or any

other gun, first always check to make sure the safety is
engaged to the “on (no red showing)” position and then make
sure there are no live rounds in the chamber, before doing
anything else (Figure 3).

Figure 3

Loading your Shotgun:

1. Engage the safety to the “on, no
red showing” position before
loading the shotgun.

2. Push the shotshell into the

shell carrier, pushing the shell
carrier in with the shotshell so
that the shell is now lined up
behind the magazine
tube (Figure 4).

Figure 4

Page
20
Loading your Shotgun (con’t):
3. With your thumb, push
the shotshell (Figure 5)
into the magazine tube
until you hear it click, and
the round is securely held
in the magazine tube.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until

you have loaded five, or
fewer, shotshells into the
magazine tube.

Note: If you are loading 2 ¾ inch

shotshells, the standard magazine
tube will hold five shells. If you are
loading 3-inch shotshells into the Figure 5
magazine tube, it will hold four shotshells.

5. Once the magazine tube

is loaded, pull the forend
completely rearward, until
it stops (depress the bolt
release latch if the forend is
locked forward). The first
round has now been pulled
from the magazine tube and
is in position to be loaded
into the chamber (Figure 6).

6. Push the forend forward,

back to its original starting Figure 6
position (this will load the shell).
The forend should now be locked into position.

WARNING: The gun is now loaded and ready to fire. Make

sure it is pointed in a safe direction.

Page
21
Firing your Shotgun:

1. Once the shotgun is loaded, the safety is still engaged,

and your finger is resting outside the trigger guard
away from the trigger (Figure 7), with the gun
pointed in a safe direction, disengage the safety. Still
keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.

Figure 7

2. Once you have aimed the shotgun in a safe direction,

and the stock is pressed firmly against your shoulder,
squeeze the trigger. The shotgun will fire.
3. After firing, take your finger off the trigger and repeat
steps 5 and 6 on page 19 until all of the shells have
been fired and the shotgun is empty. When pulling
the forend rearward, the fired shell will eject. There
is no need to press the bolt release latch after firing a
round, the forend will not be locked.

Note: If you want to stop firing before the last round is fired,
engage the safety and follow the unloading instructions listed
below, under “Unloading your shotgun”. Once again, make sure
your finger is off the trigger when following the unloading
procedures.

Unloading your shotgun:

Always unload your shotgun after every use and before

cleaning or storage.
1. To remove a live shotshell from the chamber without
firing it, first engage the trigger block safety, make
Page
22
 sure your finger is off of the trigger, and then press
the bolt release latch. This will release the forend
from its locked position.

2. While pressing the bolt release latch, start to slowly

pull the forend rearward, until the shotshell is
partially visible in the ejection port (Figure 8).

Figure 8

3. Once the shotshell is partially visible, place your hand

over the ejection port, in order to catch the shotshell
as it is ejected out.
4. Continue pulling the forend until it is completely
rearward. If the shell does not eject into your hand,
turn the shotgun sideways and let the shell fall into
your hand (Figure 9).

Note: If there was also a shell still in the

magazine tube, two shells will be in the
receiver when you pull back the forend to
remove the live shell in the chamber. Turn
the shotgun sideways and let both shells fall
into your hand.

5. After removing the live shell from

the chamber and ejection port, if
there are still shotshells in the
magazine tube, return the forend to
Figure 9

Page
23
 the forward position.
6. Once again, press the bolt release latch and at the
same time, pull the forend completely rearward.
7. A live shotshell is now sitting freely in the receiver.
Turn the shotgun sideways to dump the shell into
your hand, same as in step 4 on page 21.
8. Repeat steps five through seven until all the
shotshells are removed from the magazine tube.
9. Once all the shotshells are removed from the
chamber and magazine tube, pull the forend
rearward and visually check the chamber to ensure
no rounds are loaded (see page 18, Figure 3).

Firearm Maintenance
Disassembly:
1. Ensure the shotgun chamber and the magazine tube
are unloaded before disassembly.
2. With the shotgun standing upright and the butt of the
shotgun resting on a flat clean surface, unscrew the
magazine cap from the end of the magazine tube
(Figure 10). (Caution: always point the shotgun and
the magazine tube away from your face when taking
off the magazine cap. There is a spring block inside to
keep the spring from popping out, but always point it
away from you in case it has become dislodged in any
way. The spring could cause severe eye injury.)

Figure 10

Page
24
3. Press in and hold the bolt release latch and then
bring the forend back so that the bolt is about a
quarter of the way rearward (Figure 11).

Figure 11

4. Next, hold the receiver with one hand and pull the
barrel out of the receiver and off of the magazine
tube with the other hand, removing the barrel from
the shotgun (Figure 12).

Figure 12

5. Once the barrel is removed, carefully pull the forend

forward until the bolt comes out of the receiver. Pull
the forend completely off of the magazine tube. The
action bars and the bolt will come off with the forend
(Figure 13). Note: While pulling out the bolt, hold the
shotgun upright so the bolt will not fall. The bolt is
lying loose on the action bars.

Figure 13

Page
25
 6. Once disassembled, clean the inside of the receiver,
the action bars, bolt, and inside of the barrel with gun
cleaner. Make sure to then lightly oil the action bars
and the bolt before reassembly.

IMPORTANT: STOP!! Do not strip your shotgun any further

than we have outlined. This is the only stripping necessary
for cleaning your shotgun. If further maintenance is required
or further stripping is required, take your shotgun to a
licensed gunsmith.

Re-assembly:

1. Place the bolt back on top of the action bar

(Figure 14 & 15), making sure it sets into place on the
action bar and it holds steadily. The bolt should not
slide back and forth if seated correctly. The extractor
on the bolt should be facing forward towards the
forend.

Figure 14

Figure 15

Page
26
2. Slide the forend back over the magazine tube while
feeding the action bar and the bolt back into the
receiver. Only feed the bolt slightly back into the
receiver and then stop, as in Figure 16.

Figure 16

3. With the bolt just entering the receiver, as in Figure

16, you will slide the barrel over the top of the bolt.
To do this, there is a notch on the inside, back end of
the barrel (Figure 17). This notch will slide along the
rail that is cut into the left side of the bolt (Figure 18).

Figure 17 Figure 18

4. As you slide the barrel over the bolt (Page 26, Figure
19), with the notch of the barrel sliding along the
grooved rail of the bolt, continue pushing the barrel
into the receiver until the barrel and the bolt have
locked back into their original starting position, with
the barrel ring overlapping the magazine tube (Page
26, Figure 20).

Page
27
 Figure 19

Figure 20

5. With the barrel ring now fully past the external

threads of the magazine tube, the barrel seated fully
into the receiver, and magazine tube pointed away
from yourself and others to ensure safety, screw the
magazine cap back onto the tube until the cap is
finger tight. The shotgun is now re-assembled.

Checking your shotgun after re-assembly:

Once you have re-assembled your shotgun, you should

always check it to make sure it operates correctly, before you
load and fire the shotgun again. Never use live ammunition to
test for your shotgun for correct operation.

1. Pump the forend rearward and forward, making sure

the forend locks after you bring it back forward.
2. After verifying the forend has locked forward, press
the bolt release lever and pump the forend again,

Page
28
 checking to make sure the release lever functions
properly.
3. Still with the shotgun unloaded and the forend locked
forward, engage the safety and make sure the trigger
will not pull. This means the trigger block safety is
working correctly.
4. Disengage the safety and pull the trigger to make the
internal hammer releases. You will hear the hammer
click forward if it functions correctly.
Note: You should use a dummy training round when
pulling the trigger with the shotgun unloaded, or “dry
firing” the gun. “Dry firing” the shotgun could cause
damage to the firing components. You can purchase
dummy shotshell rounds directly from Iver Johnson
Arms. Our dummy rounds can also be used to test the
magazine tube and the feeding of your shotgun, to
make sure they function correctly.

Warning: After checking the shotgun, if any parts of the gun

fail to function properly, do nothing further and take the
firearm to a certified gunsmith for evaluation. Failure to do
so could cause serious injury or death.

Note: You should clean your shotgun after every use in order
to help prevent corrosion and keep your shotgun functioning
correctly. If your shotgun gets wet, clean it as soon as
possible. If your shotgun is not being used, you should still
clean it at least twice a year, and keep it lubricated it with
gun oil.
