(Remember to keep your fingers away from the ejection port on the opposite side of the receiver. The bolt drives forward with force during the loading of this first round.) The second, third and fourth shells to be loaded are then thumbed completely into the magazine. You will not be able to insert the fifth shell you load completely into the maga- zine.

FIRING Once loaded, all that is necessary to fire the gun, of course, is to push the safety to the “fire” position and pull the trigger. The first shell will fire and be ejected.

With the plug installed the capacity is reduced to three shells - whether the 2000 is set up to fire 2 3/4 shells only or 3” magnumshells. INTERNAL GAS SYSTEM The Browning 2000 has a uniquely de- signed, extremely reliable gas system.It is compactly contained within the magazine tube. This makes it less accessible to dirt and allows a slim forearm design. The gas is sealed off so that it cannot blow rearward into the forearm, along the action bar assembly and toward the action The gas is vented...
