MANUFACTURER’S WARNING
This firearm was manufactured to properly perform with the original parts as
designed.  It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are correctly installed
and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed.  Your gun
is a complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other parts for
safe and accurate operation.  Putting a gun together wrong or with modified
parts can result in a damaged gun, injury or death to you or others through
malfunction.   Always let a qualified gunsmith work on your gun or at least,
check any work not performed by a gunsmith.  Firearms safety is your primary
concern. THE GUN OWNER MUST ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE CORRECT REASSEMBLY AND FUNCTIONING OF THE FIREARM
AFTER ANY DISASSEMBLY OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.
Cleaning And Maintenance Of Shotgun:
A)  Follow procedures for unloading shotgun as described previously
B)  Follow procedures for disassembly of shotgun as described previously
C)  Materials needed to clean this shotgun are: a cleaning rod, cotton bore
patches, brass bore brush, powder solvent, a small soft brush and good quality
gun oil.
WARNING: Lead or lead compounds are known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, reproductive toxicity, and other serious physical
injury.  Those who clean firearms should take protective measures to avoid contact 
						

							13 or exposure to such chemicals.
There is no excuse for not being careful.....
D)  Using the bore brush with powder solvent scrub the barrel and chamber to
remove any powder and lead residue in the bore.  Always and lastly, swab with
cotton patch with gun oil to coat and protect the bore and chambers from rust
and corrosion.
E)  Any powder fowling on the firing wall, barrel, etc. can be easily cleaned with
a brush and powder solvent.
F)  All external surfaces should be wiped down with a light coat of rust
preventative.  Avoid using too much oil as dust and/or debris can get trapped
in the oil creating a gum that in time will cause misfires.
G)  CAUTION in using solvents in gun bore cleaning.  Prolonged or excess
contact with finish or bluing can damage the gun’s finish.  Be sure to wipe away
all excess solvent and then lubricate with oil.
H)  A gun should be cleaned after firing.  In addition, external parts should be
wiped with an oiled cloth after handling.  A light oil is ordinarily all that is
necessary in cleaning if the gun has not been fired or fired very little.  If a gun
is used frequently, it must be cleaned after each firing and regularly serviced by
a professional gunsmith.  If the gun has been stored, remove all excess oil and/
or grease before firing.  Always check to be sure that no cleaning patch or other
obstruction remains in the bore or chambers before firing.
DANGER – AMMUNITION WARNING
Firearms may be damaged and serious injury or death to the shooter or
bystander may result from any condition which contributes to the generation of
excessive pressure or uncontrolled release of gas within the firearm.  Such
adverse conditions can be caused by bore or chamber obstruction, propellant
powder overloads or by defective, incorrect or improperly loaded and
assembled cartridge components.  Even the strongest firearm can be blown up
as a result of excessive pressure.  It is extremely dangerous to use a cartridge
whose pressure is greater than that developed by cartridges loaded to industry
standards.
AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGES) NOTICE
We specifically disclaim responsibility for any damage, injury or death
occurring in connection with or as the result of the use of European American
Armory shotguns of faulty, non-standard, remanufactured, hand loaded or
reloaded ammunition, used cartridges or cartridges other than factory
cartridges for which the firearm was originally chambered.
LUBRICATION WARNING
Firing a shotgun with oil, grease or any other material even partially obstructing
the bore may result in damage to the shotgun and injury to the shooter and those 
						

							14 nearby.  Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammunition.  If the powder
charge of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may not be ignited, but the
energy from the primer may be sufficient to push the bullet into the bore where it
may become lodged.  Firing a subsequent bullet into the obstructed bore will
damage the shotgun and may cause injury to the shooter and those nearby.  Use
lubricants properly.  You are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of
your firearm and ammunition.
