							Loading and Unloading Your Rifle  (cont’d)
TO LOAD:
1. Make sure the ammunition that you are using is the correct size and gauge.  The barrel is marked with the
caliber.
2. Visually inspect the chamber and barrel for obstructions by breaking open the rifle by depressing the
locking lever and tipping the barrel down.  The chamber and barrel should be free of oil or grease or
obstructions.  (See 
Picture 25).
3. After inspection, load the correct type of shot shell into the chamber making sure that the shells are flush
with the extractor (See 
Pictures 26,27).Then close the action by swinging the barrel up until it locks
into the receiver and the locking latch should move to its fully locked position (See 
Picture 28).  If the
locking lever does not move to the fully locked position, break open the action again and check to see if
the shot shell is fully seated in the chamber.  If the shell is fully seated then reclose the action. If the
cartridge is not fully seated, check the chamber for blockage and check the shell for deformation
and retry closing the action once more. If the cartridge is the correct type and the chamber is not
blocked and the cartridge is not deformed and the locking lever does not move to its fully locked position
(See 
Picture 29), unload the gun (follow Unloading Instructions) and have a competent gunsmith look
at the gun or return the gun to Remington I.S.P. for inspection.  Do not force the rifle closed.

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 rifle has 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, or personal injury or death to you or
others. 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.
To Clean and Maintain Your Rifle
A. Follow procedures for unloading rifle as described previously.
B. Follow procedures for disassembly of rifle as described previously.
C. Materials needed to clean this rifle are: a cleaning rod, cotton bore patches, brass bore brush,
powder solvent (such as Remington BriteBore
™), a small soft brush and good quality gun oil
(such as Rem®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 or exposure to such chemicals.
D. Using the bore brush with powder solvent, scrub the interior of the barrel and chamber to remove any
powder and lead residue in the bore. Always and lastly, swab the interior of the barrel with a cotton patch
with gun oil to coat and protect the bore and chambers from rust and corrosion.
E.Any powder fouling 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 powder, dust or other foreign material may get trapped in the oil. This could lead to congealed
deposits which may interfere with the safe and reliable operation of this rifle.
G.
USE CAUTIONwhile using solvents in gun bore cleaning. Prolonged or excess contact with
solvents can damage the gun’s bluing and 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 personal injury or death to the shooter or bystanders 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 obstructions, 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 the rifle with faulty, nonstandard, remanufactured, hand loaded or reloaded ammunition or
with cartridges other than factory cartridges for which the rifle was originally chambered.
Lubrication Warning
Firing a rifle with oil, grease or any other material even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage to the
rifle and personal injury to the shooter and those nearby.  Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammuni
tion. If the powder charge of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, they may not fully ignite yet the energy from
the primer and/or powder may still be sufficient to push the projectile or wad into the bore where it may become
lodged. Firing a subsequent cartridge into the obstructed bore will damage the rifle and may cause personal injury
to the shooter and those nearby.  Use lubricants properly.  You are responsible for the proper care and mainte
nance of your firearm and ammunition.
