SAFETY RULES
WARNING: READ THESE SAFETY RULES & OPERATORS
MANUAL BEFORE HANDLING YOUR FIREARM
• Never point a firearm at anyone and always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe
direction.
• Always treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Don’t rely on your gun’s “safety”.
• Firearms should be unloaded when not in use and stored in a safe and secure
location. Keep firearms and ammunitions away from children.
• Use correct ammunition. Only use ammunition that exactly matches the caliber or
gauge markings on your firearm.
• Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting.
• Before shooting be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions.
• Never load your firearm until you are in a location where it is safe to shoot. Always
keep the safety engaged until you are ready to shoot.
• Keep your finger off the trigger while loading or unloading the shotgun.
• If your gun fails to fire, keep it pointed in a safe direction, then unload it carefully
avoiding exposure to breech. If your gun fires, but the report of recoil seem weak,
unload it and ensure the barrel is not obstructed.
• Don’t alter or modify your gun. Use only genuine parts.
• Clean and maintain the firearm according to the instructions in this booklet.

Do not strip your shotgun any further. This is enough for normal maintenance.
Any further stripping is best performed by a qualified gunsmith.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The proper maintenance and cleaning of your shotgun will enhance the
performance and extend the service life of your FABARM shotgun.
BARREL : Spray FABARM SOLVENT and let this stand a few minutes. Wet a
patch with FABARM GUN OIL and push the wet patch through from the
chamber end of the barrel. Repeat the operation.
ACTION: Spray a little FABARM GUN OIL on the action so as to deposit a
light film which protect the internal parts against corrosion and keep their
operation smooth.
EXTERNAL SURFACES : Spray FABARM GUN OIL on the external parts of
the shotgun and wipe off any excess oil with a dry and soft cloth.
TOTAL CAPACITY : ( With 2
3/4
“ ammunitions )
SDASS shotguns : Magazine capacity = 7 Shells + 1 shell in the chamber, for
a total capacity of 8 shells.
MARTIAL shotguns
: Magazine capacity = 5 Shells + 1 shell in the chamber,
for a total capacity of 6 shells.
REASSEMBLY

into the bolt. ( FIG.18 )
2. Place the firing pin and its spring into the bolt, compress it and
insert the retaining pin. ( FIG.19 )

REMOVING/INSTALLING MULTICHOKES TUBES
WARNING : Unload the firearm before changing choke tubes. Leave the action
open and the chamber and magazine empty when changing cho ke tubes.
The MULTICHOKES barrel with interchangeable choke tubes gives the
possibility of different chokes and different lengths, with the same barrel.

3. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise to remove the choke tube.
4. Select the desired MULTICHOKES tube and place it on the barrel.
5. Screw it in clockwise until tight. Make certain it is tight using the choke
wrench but do not over tighten. A small amount of lubricate on the
treads will ensure the choke tube can be installed and removed with
ease.
6. With the action opened, the chamber and magazine empty, check the
choke tube occasionally to make sure the tube has not loosened.
DROP MODIFICATION
On pump shotguns with regular pistol stock, a set of drop spacers can be
ordered to modify the drop of the stock as it’s indicated on the FIG.27
Please see your gun dealer to fit a new spacer if needed.
MUZZLE BREAK
1. Engage the safety switch.
2. Place the choke tube wrench on the MULTICHOKES tube.
3. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise to remove the choke tube.
4. Place the muzzle break on the barrel and tighten it firmly by hand.
Orientate the gas holes upwards. ( FIG.28 )
5. The anti-rotation screw should be perfectly aligned with the small
milling made on the barrel. ( FIG.29 ) With a regular screw-driver
screw the anti-rotation screw in clockwise until tight.
FOLDING STOCK

The telescopic stock is provided so that the shooter, at his discretion, may
adjust the length of pull.
1. To extend or reduce the stock, press the release lever located on the
bottom side of the stock. ( FIG.32 )

anti-rotation glue can be added on the screws.
PICATINNY KIT ON MAGAZINE TUBE
On SDASS shotguns, it’s possible to fix a PICATINNY KIT ( ref. B-083-A ) on
