Safety is Critical to Performance.
A superbly crafted gun is only as good as the hands that hold it. You can never be too careful. Shooting
accidents are often caused by careless oversights such as failing to control the direction of the muzzle, failing to
fully engage the safety, leaving ammunition in the chamber or using improper loads. These oversights can result
in the destruction of life, limb or property. There’s no calling back a bullet once it’s been fired, so it’s
critical that you know the principles of safe gun handling and storage before you ever take your new Remington
firearm out of the box.
The proper use and performance of your firearm depends on correct assembly and maintenance, so it’s critical
that you familiarize yourself with the information in this instruction book. Even if you’re a veteran shooter with a
collection of Remington firearms, take the time to read this literature. Not all firearms are the same. That means
the first step in safe handling is to learn the features and requirements of your new Remington.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY
With the privilege of owning a firearm comes the responsibility to use it safely. You must understand and follow
the Ten Commandments of Firearms Safety at all times. These time-honored safety rules apply to your ownership
and handling of any firearm. They must govern your actions whenever and wherever you are involved with
firearms . . . in the field, on the range, or in your home. Commit these Ten Commandments to your memory.
1st COMMANDMENT
Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a Safe Direction.
This is the most important gun safety rule. A safe direction is one in which an accidental discharge will not cause
injury to yourself or others. Never allow your gun to point at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Be especially
careful when you’re loading or unloading. Treat every gun as if it were loaded. And make it a habit to know where
the muzzle is pointed at all times, even when your firearm is unloaded. No one will be injured by an
accidental discharge if you keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction. It’s as simple as that.
2nd COMMANDMENT
Firearms Should be Unloaded When Not in Use and Secured from
Unauthorized Use.
Load your firearm only when you are in the field or on the range and ready to shoot. Unload your firearm as
soon as you are finished shooting. Never bring a loaded firearm into your camp, home or vehicle. Unloading
means unloading both
else, visually check the chamber, receiver, and magazine to make sure there is no ammunition anywhere in the
firearm. Never assume a firearm is unloaded, and never take someone’s word for it - look for yourself. When
you are finished shooting and have completely unloaded the firearm, leave its action open.
Whenever you are carrying a loaded firearm in the field, you must unload it before crossing a fence, climbing
into a tree stand or blind or in any other situation where you may not be able to fully control the firearm. Never
pull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself or another person.
Store your firearms unloaded in a secure place where unauthorized persons cannot gain access to them. Store

3rd COMMANDMENT
Never Rely on Your Firearm’s Safety Mechanism to Justify Careless Handling.
If your firearm is equipped with a manual safety mechanism, do not rely on the safety as an excuse for improper or careless handling of the firearm. The safety mechanism is merely a supplement to your proper handling of
the firearm. The safety mechanism may be broken or altered. Even if you think you have previously engaged
the safety in the “safe” position, it may have been inadvertently disengaged without your knowledge while being
carried. Never assume that the safety mechanism is engaged in the “safe” position. Your assumption may be
wrong or mistaken. Treat your firearms safety mechanism like you would treat any other mechanical device - as
something that could break or fail.
Not all safety mechanisms operate in the same manner. Before using any firearm, know and understand precisely how the safety mechanism on that particular firearm operates. Never pull the trigger when the safety
mechanism is in the “safe” position, and keep your fingers away from the trigger while loading, unloading, and
engaging or disengaging the safety mechanism.
4th COMMANDMENT
Know Your Target and What’s Beyond It.
Never fire a shot unless you know exactly where the shot is going and what it will strike. Bullets and shot can
travel great distances with deadly velocity. When hunting game, never fire at a sound, a movement or a patch of
color - an impulsive shot can have tragic consequences. A fellow hunter in camouflage may be mistaken for
game by an impulsive shooter.
In addition to being sure of your target, you must know what lies beyond the target. In other words, make sure
of your backstop. Also, beware of ricochets - never shoot at water or a hard surface.
5th COMMANDMENT
Use Proper Ammunition.
Every firearm is designed to use only a specified caliber, gauge or length of ammunition. Use of the wrong
ammunition can cause serious personal injury or death. It is your responsibility to make sure the ammunition
exactly matches the specifications for your firearm.
Use of improperly reloaded ammunition can also be dangerous. Firearms are designed, manufactured, and
proof-tested to specified industry standards. Hand-loaded or reloaded ammunition that deviates, either intentionally or accidentally, from specified loadings can be extremely hazardous. It is strongly recommended, therefore, that you use only factory ammunition from a reputable ammunition manufacturer. If you do reload, you
have assumed the risks and responsibilities of an ammunition manufacturer.
6th COMMANDMENT
If Your Firearm Fails to Fire When You Pull the Trigger, Handle With Care.
If a chambered round of ammunition does not fire when you pull the trigger, stop and keep the muzzle pointed
in a safe direction. Treat your firearm as if it could still discharge. Keep your face away from the breech. Slowly
and carefully open the action, return the safety mechanism to the “safe” position, and unload the cartridge from
the chamber. Dispose of the cartridge safely. If your firearm repeatedly fails to fire when you pull the trigger, take
your firearm and ammunition to a competent gunsmith or return the firearm to the manufacturer for inspection.

7th COMMANDMENT
Always Wear Eye and Ear Protection.
Wear protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when shooting. Be sure to wear eye protection when
disassembling or cleaning a firearm to protect your eyes from springs and other tensioned parts. Continued
exposure to shooting noise can permanently damage your hearing.
8th COMMANDMENT
Be Sure the Barrel is Clear of Obstructions Before Shooting.
With your firearm completely unloaded, open the action and make sure there are no obstructions or debris in the
barrel. Even a small obstruction such as snow or mud in the barrel can cause the barrel or receiver to burst when
the next round is fired. Use a cleaning rod to remove obstructions and residues from the barrel. If the firing
noise or recoil seems weak, stop and completely unload your firearm to check for obstructions before firing
another shot. NEVER try to shoot out an obstruction by loading and firing another round of ammunition.
9th COMMANDMENT
Never Alter or Modify Your Firearm and Have it Cleaned and Serviced Regularly.
Your firearm has been carefully designed and manufactured to operate according to certain factory specifications.
NEVER alter or modify your firearm, especially its trigger or safety mechanism, in any way. Such alterations or
modifications can adversely affect the safe operation of your firearm, endangering you and those around you.
As with any mechanical device, the parts of a firearm are subject to wear or breakage. To assure optimum safety and performance, your firearm must be maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Only a competent gunsmith or a Remington Authorized Service Center should service or repair your firearm.
Proper cleaning and lubrication are also important to maintain the safe and proper functioning of your firearm.
Follow the cleaning and lubrication instructions set forth in the owner’s manual for your firearm. NEVER attempt
to clean or lubricate a loaded firearm.
10th COMMANDMENT
Learn How Your Firearm Operates.
Not all firearms are alike. Before you use any firearm for the first time, you must become totally familiar with
how that firearm operates. When you receive a new firearm, read and understand the owner’s manual before
assembling the firearm for the first time. If you acquire a used firearm, request an owner’s manual and have the
rifle inspected by a competent gunsmith to determine whether it is in good working order. If you do not have an
owner’s manual, contact the manufacturer to obtain one. If you are selling or trading your firearm to someone
else, be sure to transfer the owner’s manual to the new owner.
LEAD EXPOSURE WARNING
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead, a substance known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, cancer and other serious physical
injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
SHOOT SOBER!
Guns and alcohol or drugs don’t mix. Never consume anything that would even mildly impair your judgement or
physical coordination while handling a firearm.

rearward motion of the trigger(s). To place the safety in the “off” or “fire” position, push the slide all the way to
the forward. When in the “off” or “fire” position, a red dot is exposed behind the slide button. You have now
disengaged the safety and the shotgun is in the ready-to-fire position, (see

Triggers:
WARNING
Never pull the trigger(s) until you are actually ready to fire. Keep your fingers off the trigger(s) and outside of the trigger guard until you are ready
to pull the trigger and fire the shotgun. When opening and closing the action and when engaging or disengaging the safety mechanism, make sure
your fingers are outside the trigger guard and away from the trigger(s).
Over/Under shotguns are available in either a double-trigger configuration (Model 320) or a single trigger
configuration (Model 310). (See
Picture 11 and See Picture 12).
Double-trigger Model 320 shotguns are patterned after classic over & under shotguns with two triggers. The front
trigger always fires the bottom barrel. The back trigger always fires the top barrel. Pulling either trigger with the
safety in the “off” or “fire” position fires the shotgun.
