necessary to depress the takedown lever latch. It
should be flush with the wood on the underside of
the forearm. If the 
takedown lever latch offers resist-

the barrel with the heel of your hand. The 
takedown
lever latch should then lock into position.

You
may hopelessly mar it, and more complete dis-
assembly of the gun is not required for normal
maintenance.
CLEANING AND OILING
The broad, polished, finely-fitted surfaces at the
breech must always have a film of oil. Put one drop
on the ejector slides. Put another drop on each side
of the barrel receiver walls. We strongly recommend

It is  VERY IMPORTANT  that the chambers of
your shotgun be cleaned thoroughly and promptly after shooting plastic shotshells. Cleaning with a
good powder solvent, followed by an oiled patch 
is recommended.
