Bev Fitchett's Guns Magazine

The Barrel to the Receiver

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.

2 Components of the gas system: the gas piston tube and gas bracket seal will remain in place and do not need to be removed, except for cleaning. If the components of the gas system have been removed, reinstall them as explained below. Otherwise, proceed to step 5.

3 Slide the piston tube onto the magazine tube with the piston rod and piston rod spring end first. Check the piston rod to make sure it is aligned with the hole in the forearm shoe. (See Figure 3)

4 With the piston tube in place, slide the gas bracket seal on the magazine tube. IMPORTANT: The tapered end of the gas bracket seal must face the gas bracket. The gas bracket seal must be fitted properly in order to effectively seal gases for precise operation of the gas system. (See Figure 4).

Figure 5

Bracket

With the gun in the vertical position, line the gas bracket over the magazine tube (See figure 5). Slide the gas piston tube up to meet the gas bracket so that the piston goes up into the gas bracket. The barrel extension should slip solidly down into the receiver. Make sure the piston tube assem-

1 Unscrew the magazine cap and remove it.

2 Remove the forearm by sliding it forward off the magazine tube.

3 For cleaning, remove the barrel and piston tube assembly by sliding them forward off of the magazine tube. See "Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions" on page 18, 19 and 20 for cleaning procedures

If you are disassembling for storage, return the piston tube assembly onto the magazine tube as shown previously in Figure 4. Reinstall the forearm over the magazine tube and screw on the magazine cap. You will then have two compact units: the barrel, and the action with forearm and stock.

CAUTION: AFTER THE BARREL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM YOUR GUN, LEA VE THE BOLT IN THE OPEN POSITION. DO NOT PRESS THE CARRIER RELEASE BUTTON.

bly and piston rcxl moves freely into the hole on the forearm shoe and receiver.

6 Replace the foreami by sliding it onto the magazine tube and over the gas bracket so it seats securely. Install the magazine cap. Make sure the magazine cap is fully tightened down.

Disassembly of the Barrel

From the Receiver_

BEFORE STARTING DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES, VISUALLY INSPECT THE CHAMBER, FEED MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE SHOTGUN IS COMPLETEL Y UNLOADED. POINT THE BARREL IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

If the lx)lt is released forward with the barrel removed, the operating handle will be driven against the edge of the ejection port, which will cause damage to the receiver.

Disassembly of the

Trigger Group and Bolt Assembly

It is not necessary or recommended that the trigger group or lx)lt be removed except if the action becomes excessively dirty or wet. If this

/ j occurs, disassemble the action for a complete cleaning as explained below. Detailed cleaning procedures are outlined under "Cleaning and Maintenance" on page 18, 19 and 20. Full disassembly involves removal of the lx)lt assem-

bly and the trigger group. Any disassembly beyond this should only be performed by a competent gunsmith.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR DISASSEMBLY.

REMOVING THE TRIGGER GROUP—

1 First, make certain the gun is totally unloaded and the "safety" is "on safe."

CHECK THE MAGAZINE, FEED MECHANISM AND CHAMBER TO BE SURE THEY DO NOT CONTAIN ANY SHELLS

2 While holding the bolt handle, release the bolt to its forward position by depressing the carrier release button. Again use caution when releasing the bolt assembly to its forward position. If you allow the bolt assembly to slam closed with the barrel removed you can damage the receiver.

3 Push in the trigger guard pin from the right (ejection port) side. Use a drive punch or similar object, using caution not to scratch the receiver. (See Figure 6) Push the trigger guard pin clear through the left side of the receiver.

grasp the trigger guard and pull it up and rearward, out of the receiver. (See Figure 7)

5 Perform any cleaning of the parts and receiver cavity as necessary.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE TRIGGER GROUP BEYOND THIS POINT.

REASSEMBLY—

1 Make sure the bolt is fully forward and engaged in the locked position.

2 Insert the front of the trigger group back into the receiver so that the lugs on each side of the front of the trigger guard fit into the rails in the receiver.

3 Lower the trigger guard until the hole in the trigger group lines up with the holes on each side of the receiver. Reinsert the trigger guard pin and gently lap it into place with a plastic or wooden mallet, again using caution not to scratch the receiver.

REMO VING THE BOL T ASSEMBL Y—

To remove the bolt assembly you must first remove the trigger group, as explained previously.

1 Grasp the operating handle firmly and pull it outward, removing it from the bolt (See Figure 8)

2 With the gun inverted (trigger guard up position), locate where the bolt slide link enters the recoil spring follower. To extract the bolt slide link from the recoil spring follower depress the recoil spring follower with a screw driver, while at the same time holding the bolt slide link forward with long-noise pliers (See Figure 9). The bolt slide link can then easily be pulled out of the recoil spring follower. Using the bolt slide link as a handle, remove the slide as sembly by pulling it back and upwards out of the receiver. (See Figure 10).

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE BOLT

ASSEMBLY BEYOND THIS POINT.
