FIELD STRIPPING

WARNING: Always check that the shotgun is unloaded (empty cartridge chamber,

empty receiver, empty magazine). Inspect the ﬁ rearm by looking through the

ejection port, the loading gate and the chamber. If it is not empty, unload it as

instructed in the relevant section. Check that the hammer is decocked.

WARNING: Never point the ﬁ rearm at someone or at hard, ﬂ at surfaces. Always

treat the shotgun as if it were loaded. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC

SAFETY RULES.)

NOTICE: It is advisable to carry out the disassembly operations over a table to

catch components should they drop.

BARREL

• Check that the carrier stop push button is pressed all the way down. If it is not,

push it all the way down (Fig. 6).

• Pull the breech bolt all the way back so that it remains open (Fig. 7).

• Unscrew the front cap of fore-end in an anticlockwise direction (Fig. 27).

• Holding the shotgun by the barrel, pull the fore-end straight out toward the

muzzle (Fig. 28).

• Pull the barrel out of the stock-receiver assembly while holding the piston

inside the gas cylinder (Fig. 29).

NOTICE: NEVER STRIP the spring of the valve or the valve retaining nut. The

valve device is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance. If necessary, contact

a competent gunsmith.

BREECH BOLT ASSEMBLY

(Breech bolt, operating rods with sleeve, recoil spring, and piston stop.)

WARNING: The breech bolt assembly need only to be disassembled in order to

clean its components.

• Keeping the index or middle ﬁ nger of the left hand on the cocking handle,

press the release button and allow the breech bolt to move forward slowly until

it stops (Fig. 31).

• Press the head of the breech bolt until the groove on its neck corresponds to

the edge of the bolt body (Fig. 32).

• Keeping the head depressed in this position, extract the cocking handle from

the breech bolt, pulling forcefully (Fig. 33).

• Over a ﬂ at surface, with the ejection port pointed upwards, pull forward on the

breech bolt assembly, the operating rods with sleeve, the recoil spring, and the

spring holder, to force the breech bolt out from the receiver (Fig. 34 and 35).
