The use of a vise to secure the receiver during shotgun disassembly and kit installation is recommended. Firmly clamp the receiver in the vise – bottom side up – leaving the barrel and the Retainer Pin unobstructed by the vise. Illustrations in this manual show this workspace.

NOTE: Take caution when tightening vise not to scratch the receiver. Using a soft material between the vise’s jaw surfaces and the receiver (“Soft Jaws”) will help protect the receiver from being scratched.

Shotgun Disassembly

WARNING: Use Caution! Verify firearm safety is on and the barrel is pointed in a safe direction. Confirm that the shotgun is unloaded by opening the action and making visual and touch verification as directed in your shotgun owner’s manual.

NOTE: The following disassembly drawings/steps are specific to Mossberg disassembly. Remington disassembly is very similar.

   NOTE: Steps 3-7 may be skipped if you have a circular shotgun forend wrench which does not require complete forend assembly removal. Simply unscrew the forend nut and slip off the forend. Proceed with Step 2 under Forend Installation on page 22.

2. Unscrew the 500/88 Takedown Screw (A), 590 Magazine Cap (B) or 870 Magazine Cap (C) on the end of the magazine tube and remove the barrel by pulling it out of the receiver.
