How do I disassemble and assemble my L.C. Smith shotgun?

 

Place gun 'on safe'; middle position with a 3 position safety, rear with a 2 position safety.

 

Turn top lever to the right (snap caps are visible) BE SURE THE GUN IS UNLOADED!

 

Fully open the gun to cock the hammers, then close the gun.

 

Place gun rib down on a cushioned surface

 

Roll the 'roller' FORWARD while pulling up on the forend. With a 'snap on' forend, simply pull up on the forend.

 

Lift off the forend

 

Turn the top lever to the right, partially open the gun.

 

Fully open the gun and carefully life the barrels off the receiver. FOR REASSEMBLY- carefully place the barrels back ON the receiver.

 

Reassembling by closing the action with snap caps in place.

 

Replacing the forend with the J- spring in the proper position against the forend lug. IF THE HAMMERS WERE DROPPED WHILE DISASSEMBLED, YOU MUST RE-COCK THE HAMMERS BEFORE REPLACING THE FOREND. Roll the 'roller' forward as you push down on the forend. When fully reassembled with snap caps in place, place 'off safe' and pull the triggers to drop the hammers. ALWAYS START DISASSEMBLY WITH RECOCKING THE HAMMERS.
