Loading and Unloading Your Shotgun (cont’d)
TO LOAD:
1. Make sure the ammunition that you are using is the correct size and gauge. The barrels are marked with
the gauge and chamber size. Barrels marked 3” (76mm) will use only 2

2. Visually inspect the chambers and barrels for obstructions by breaking open the shotgun by depressing
the locking lever and tipping the barrels down. The chambers and barrels should be free of oil or grease
or obstructions. (See
Picture 19).
3. After inspection, load the correct type of shot shells into the chambers making sure that the shells are
flush with the extractor (See
Pictures 20 and 21), then close the action by swinging the barrels up until
they lock into the receiver and the top lever moves back to the center position. If the top lever does not
move to the center, break open the action again and check to see if the shot shells are fully seated in the
chambers. If the shells are fully seated then re-close the action. If the shot shells are not fully seated,
check the chamber for blockage and check the shells for deformation and retry closing the action once
more. If the shells are the correct type and the chambers are not blocked and the shells are not deformed
and the top lever does not move at least three quarters of the full travel distance to the center after
closing, then unload the gun (follow Unloading Instructions) and have a competent gunsmith look at the
shotgun or return the gun to Remington I.S.P. (See address in Parts & Service Section) for
inspection. Note: The top lever may not move completely to the center on a new shotgun until the gun is
broken in. The lever must move at least three quarters of the full travel distance. Try and move the top
lever to the center position by pushing it, do not force it.
