ASSEMBLY
FABARM’s semi-automatic shotguns are packed with the barrels separated from the stockreceiver-forend groups.
1. Unscrew the forend cap from the stock-receiver-forend group and slide off the forend ( FIG.1 )
2. With the bolt forward,position the barrel extension between the bolt and the inside of the
receiver while ensuring the gas cylinder hanging below the barrel slides over the shaft of
the magazine cap. Move the barrel carefully to the rear until it seats in the receiver and
the gas cylinder is seated in the gas piston ( FIG.2 ).
3. Slide the forend over the gas cylinder/piston and magazine tube being careful to guide it all
the way back into the two slots of the receiver then screw the forend cap onto the threaded
shaft of the magazine cap which is protruding from the front of the forend ( FIG.3 ).
4. Tighten this cap firmly by hand ( FIG.4 ).
LOADING THE SHOTGUN.
1. Before loading the shotgun, put the safety on SAFE by pushing the safety button on the
side where the red stripe is seen.
2. Push the cut-off lever located on the left side of the trigger guard until it clicks ( FIG.5 ).
3. Pull the cocking handle back until the bolt locks open ( FIG.6 ).
4. Place a shell in the receiver through the ejection port crimped end forward ( FIG.7 ).
5. To chamber the shell, point the shotgun in a safe direction and depress the carrier latch
button located on the left side of the receiver. This will close the bolt chambering the shell
in the process ( FIG.8 ).
