| Remington® Model 870™ Pump Action Shotgun This is a brief excerpt of the Remington® Model 870™ Pump Action Shotguns owners manual to read the entire gun manuls check this link for the Remington Model 870 and the links below. Congratulations on your choice of a Remington 870 Pump Shotgun. With proper care, it should give you many years of dependable use and enjoyment. For best results, we recommend that you use Remington Ammunition – the ammunition used in factory testing your firearm against our exacting function and performance standards. Important Parts of the Firearm The Safety Mechanism The safety mechanism on the Model 870™ Pump Action Shotgun is a button located behind the trigger, commonly known as a cross-bolt safety. The safety mechanism provides protection against accidental or unintentional discharge under normal usage when properly engaged and in good working order. To engage the safety mechanism, push the button so the RED BAND MARKING CANNOT BE SEEN. Always engage the safety mechanism when the firearm is loaded and you do not intend to shoot. Never pull the trigger when the safety mechanism is engaged. When you are ready to fire the firearm, press the safety mechanism so that the RED BAND MARKING IS SHOWING. Do not touch the trigger while moving the safety mechanism. Your fingers and all other objects should be kept outside of the trigger guard and away from th trigger until you are actually ready to fire by pulling the trigger. WARNING! The firearm will fire when the trigger is pulled and the RED BAND MARKING IS SHOWING. Even when the safety mechanism is engaged, careless handling can cause the firearm to fire. See Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety on page 2 of the .PDF The Security System The firearm you have purchased is equipped with an integrated security system. The security system enables the owner to lock the safety mechanism on the firearm in the “SAFE” position with the use of a special key. THIS SECURITY SYSTEM DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR SAFE GUN HANDLING AND STORAGE, INCLUDING KEEPING THIS AND EVERY GUN UNLOADED AND LOCKED IN A SECURE PLACE WHEN NOT IN USE. READ AND FOLLOW THESE AND OTHER SAFETY RULES IN THIS INSTRUCTION BOOK. FAILURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND AND OBEY THESE RULES CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS. SEE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY ON PAGE 2. The safety mechanism on the firearm you have purchased is a button located behind the trigger, commonly known as the cross-bolt safety. See Picture 1 on page 7. The safety mechanism provides additional protection against accidental or unintentional discharge under normal usage when properly engaged and in good working order. On the safety mechanism there is a “J” shaped slot. See Picture 2. This “J” slot is the key hole for securing your safety mechanism. Also on the safety mechanism is a pointer which will point and line up with either the RED or WHITE DOT on the trigger plate when the safety mechanism is turned. See Picture 2. The position of the pointer indicates whether or not the security system is engaged. The existence of the security system does not change the basic operation of the safety mechanism, nor does it change the manner in which the safety mechanism should be used. With your new firearm you will receive a capped key. To use the key remove the cap. On the key is an indicator line which will line up with the pointer on the safety mechanism. See Picture 3. To engage the security system, press the safety mechanism to the “SAFE” position so the RED BAND DOES NOT SHOW. Insert the key into the “J” slot as far as it can go. Next, turn the key counter-clockwise so that the indicator line on the key and the pointer on the safety mechanism line up with the WHITE DOT on the trigger plate. THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS NOW ENGAGED. In operating the security system, NEVER use excessive force to turn the key. If the key will not turn freely, contact a Remington® authorized repair center. Keep your security system engaged and your safety mechanism in the “SAFE” position when your firearm is not in use. Keep your key in a secure place, inaccessible to others. DO NOT leave your key or any ammunition with your firearm, which should be kept unloaded and locked in a safe place. If you lose the key, DO NOT attempt to disengage the safety mechanism using a foreign object. This will damage your firearm. Contact your Remington authorized dealer for a replacement key. Even if you think the security system and safety mechanism are engaged, careless handling can cause the firearm to fire....
