GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The Browning A-Bolt Shotgun is a bolt-action shotgun that operates by lifting the bolt handle, drawing the bolt rearward and then sliding the bolt forward and rotating the bolt downward until it stops. This process takes a shell from the magazine and loads it into the chamber for firing. The A-Bolt Shotgun’s short, 60° bolt lift lets you cycle the action rapidly for quick follow-up shots. Because of the short lift of the bolt, there is ample scope clearance. Other significant features include a convenient detachable box magazine and thumb-operated top-tang “safety.” 

NOMENCLATURE

In conventional firearm terminology the position and movement of firearm parts are described as they occur with the firearm horizontal and in the normal firing position: i.e., the muzzle is forward or in front; the buttstock is rearward or to the rear; the trigger is downward or underneath; the sight is upward or on top. For general parts nomenclature, refer to Figure 1. 

SERIAL NUMBER

The serial number of your firearm can be found on the right side of the receiver, in front of the bolt handle. Record this number in the space provided at the front of this owner's manual for future reference. 

NOTICE: PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE CLEANING YOUR FIREARM.

CLEANING PARTS WITH SPECIAL FINISHES

Be especially careful when cleaning firearms with camouflage, Dura-Touch® Armor Coating and other special finishes. Always prevent these surfaces from coming in contact with cleaning solvents, barrel scrubbers and other strong chemicals. It is preferable to clean these surfaces with a lightweight gun oil containing no solvents, or with a damp cloth and mild dish soap (be sure to keep water out of the action). When cleaning your firearm’s bore and action, protect the external finishes from any contact with chemicals used. Also, avoid any contact between external finishes and other strong chemicals like those found in DEET-containing insect repellents, sunscreens, etc. Damage to camouflage, Dura-Touch and other finishes caused by chemicals is irreversible and not repairable.

WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN CLEANING YOUR FIREARM TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY. 

WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A  SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. 

The “safety” is located on the top tang at the rear of the receiver. When the “safety” is drawn to the rear, the firearm is in the on safe position (Figure 3). This blocks the trigger and locks the bolt in the closed position. In this position an “S” appears in front of the “safety.” 

When the “safety” is pushed forward, the “S” will be covered and a red dot will appear indicating that the shotgun is in the “off safe” position and ready to fire (Figure 4). 

WARNING: DO NOT DEPEND ON THE RED COLOR ALONE TO INDICATE YOUR FIREARM’S SAFETY STATUS. TIME, EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS, AND THE ABRASIVE ACTION OF CLEANING AGENTS CAN ERASE IT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. BEFORE INSERTING OR REMOVING THE BOLT, VISUALLY INSPECT THE CHAMBER TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

INSERTING THE BOLT

The A-Bolt Shotgun comes packed in a foam-padded box with the bolt removed from the shotgun. To install the bolt into the receiver perform the following procedure:

1. Place the “safety” in the off safe position. 
2. Align the forward end of the bolt in the rear opening of the receiver.
3. Push the bolt completely forward and rotate the handle down to ock it. It is not necessary to depress the bolt stop to insert the bolt, but you may do so to ease the installation (Figure 6). 
4. Immediately place the “safety” in the on safe position. The firearm is now completely assembled and may be operated normally.

WARNING: USE ONLY SHELLS OF THE CORRECT GAUGE AND LENGTH. THE GAUGE AND LENGTH OF THE CHAMBER IS INSCRIBED ON THE SIDE OF THE BARREL. DO NOT USE AMMUNITION OTHER THAN WHAT IS INSCRIBED ON THE SIDE OF THE BARREL. EXAMINE EVERY SHELL YOU PUT IN YOUR SHOTGUN. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR SHOTGUN. 

USE SHELLS OF THE CORRECT LENGTH. DO NOT USE 3" OR 3½" SHELLS IN A BARREL WITH A 2¾" OR 2½" CHAMBER, OR 3½" SHELLS IN A BARREL WITH A 3" CHAMBER. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN A BUILDUP OF DANGEROUSLY HIGH PRESSURES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR SHOTGUN. 

DO NOT PUT A 16 OR 20 GAUGE SHELL IN A 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN. DO NOT PUT A 28 GAUGE SHELL IN A 20 GAUGE SHOTGUN. DO NOT PUT A .410 BORE SHELL IN A 28 GAUGE SHOTGUN. NEVER PUT METALLIC SHELLS OF ANY KIND IN A SHOTGUN. SPECIFICALLY, NEVER PUT CENTERFIRE RIFLE OR PISTOL SHELLS IN A SHOTGUN CHAMBERED FOR .410 BORE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR SHOTGUN. 

The most certain way to bulge or rupture a shotgun barrel is to load  a smaller gauge shell into a larger gauge chamber. The smaller gauge shell will not fall completely through the barrel; its rim is caught by the front of a larger gauge chamber or at the larger gauge’s choke. Your shotgun will misfire (with the chamber appearing to be empty). It is then possible to load the correct gauge shell behind the smaller gauge shell. If the shotgun is then fired, the result will be a so-called “12-16, 12-20, 20-28 or 28-.410 burst” which can cause extensive damage to your shotgun and possible serious injury to you and others.

We can assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through the use of shells of nonstandard dimension or those developing pressures in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute) established standards.

A-Bolt Shotguns feature a 3" chamber and will shoot all factory 2¾" and 3" slug loads.

The A-Bolt Shotgun utilizes a detachable box magazine attached to a hinged floorplate. The capacity of the magazine is two shells. Another shell may be carried in the chamber, providing a total capacity of three shells. Remember, total capacity includes an additional shell which can be loaded in the chamber in addition to a full magazine.

WARNING: WHEN LOADING YOUR SHOTGUN ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, ALWAYS PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION AND KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

DO NOT CARRY YOUR SHOTGUN WITH A SHELL IN THE CHAMBER TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. WHEN FIRING IS NO LONGER IMMINENT, MAKE SURE THE “SAFETY” IS IN THE ON SAFE POSITION AND UNLOAD THE CHAMBER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT  IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

LOADING THE MAGAZINE DETACHED FROM THE FLOORPLATE

1. Close the bolt and place the “safety” in the on safe position. 

2. Press the magazine release in front of the trigger guard and allow the hinged floorplate/magazine unit to swing downward (Figure 7). 

3. Detach the magazine by grasping the sides of the magazine and pulling it off the hinged floorplate (Figure 8).

4. Once the magazine has been detached, it may be loaded by laying a shell on top of the follower, aligning the shell’s rim with the rim slots and pressing the shell down and rearward until it is retained in the magazine. Load a subsequent shell into the magazine in the same manner.

NOTICE: THE BASE OF EACH SHELL MUST BE FLUSH WITH THE REAR OF THE MAGAZINE. IF THE FRONT OF A SHELL PROTRUDES BEYOND THE FRONT OF THE MAGAZINE, IT COULD CAUSE FEEDING PROBLEMS OR INTERFERE WHEN INSERTING THE MAGAZINE INTO THE SHOTGUN.

5. Attach the magazine by inserting the small lip on the rear of the magazine into the matching groove in the rear of the floorplate (Figure 9). Snap the front of the magazine firmly into place. 

6. After loading the magazine, swing the floorplate and loaded magazine upwards until it is retained by the magazine catch. 

Extra loaded magazines may be carried for rapid replacement of an empty magazine using this same procedure. 

LOADING THE MAGAZINE WHEN ATTACHED TO THE FLOORPLATE

1. Close the bolt and place the “safety” in the on safe position. 

2. Press the magazine release in front of the trigger guard and allow the hinged floorplate/magazine unit to swing downward (Figure 7, page 16). 

3. Place a shell on top of the follower, align the shell’s rim with the rim slots and press the shell down and rearward until it is retained in the magazine (Figure 10). Load a subsequent shell into the magazine in the same manner.

NOTICE: THE BASE OF EACH SHELL MUST BE FLUSH WITH THE REAR OF THE MAGAZINE. IF THE FRONT OF A SHELL PROTRUDES BEYOND THE FRONT OF THE MAGAZINE, IT COULD CAUSE FEEDING PROBLEMS OR INTERFERE WHEN INSERTING THE MAGAZINE INTO THE SHOTGUN.

4. After loading the magazine, swing the floorplate and loaded magazine upwards until it is retained by the magazine catch.

CONVENTIONAL MAGAZINE LOADING PROCEDURE

The A-Bolt Shotgun may also be loaded like most other bolt action firearms. With the bolt drawn open, shells are inserted into the magazine through the ejection port. 

1. Place the “safety” in the off safe position. 

2. Open the bolt. 

3. Place a shell on top of the follower, align the shell’s rim with the rim slots and press the shell down and rearward with your thumb until it is retained in the magazine. Load a subsequent shell into the magazine in the same manner. 

NOTICE: THE BASE OF EACH SHELL MUST BE FLUSH WITH THE REAR OF THE MAGAZINE. IF THE FRONT OF A SHELL PROTRUDES BEYOND THE FRONT OF THE MAGAZINE, IT COULD CAUSE FEEDING PROBLEMS OR INTERFERE WHEN INSERTING THE MAGAZINE INTO THE FIREARM.

4. If you do not wish to load the chamber, depress the top shell with your finger and close the bolt. The bolt will slide over the top of the shell.

5. Immediately place the “safety” in the on safe position.

LOADING THE CHAMBER FROM THE MAGAZINE

1. Place the “safety” in the off safe position. 

2. Open the bolt and inspect the chamber to ensure it is unloaded.

3. Close the bolt and place the “safety” in the on safe position.

4. Insert a loaded magazine into the magazine well. 

5. Place the “safety” in the off safe position. 

6. Cycle the bolt by pulling it fully to the rear and returning it forward. This operation picks-up a shell from the magazine and loads it into the chamber. 

WARNING: THE SHOTGUN IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY PULLING THE TRIGGER. IF SHOOTING IS NOT IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE “SAFETY” TO THE ON SAFE POSITION.

7. You may now load the firearm to full capacity by loading an additional shell into the magazine as explained previously.

SINGLE SHOT LOADING DIRECTLY TO THE CHAMBER

You may also load your shotgun by placing a shell directly into the chamber. To load the shotgun in this manner, use the following loading procedure. 

1. Insert an unloaded magazine into the firearm. 

2. Pull the bolt rearward and inspect the chamber to make sure it is empty.

3. Insert a single shell through the ejection port and into the chamber.

4. Push the bolt completely forward and rotate the bolt handle down.

WARNING: THE SHOTGUN IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY PULLING THE TRIGGER. IF SHOOTING IS NOT IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE “SAFETY” TO THE ON SAFE POSITION.

WARNING: NEVER CHAMBER A SHELL OR MOVE THE “SAFETY” FROM THE ON SAFE POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: THE SHOTGUN IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY PULLING THE TRIGGER. IF SHOOTING IS NOT IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE “SAFETY” TO THE ON SAFE POSITION.

WARNING: AFTER FIRING, OR WHEN SHOOTING IS NO LONGER IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

EVEN WITH THE BOLT OPEN AFTER SHOOTING, DO NOT ASSUME THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED. ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, BARREL, FEED MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE TO BE CERTAIN THE FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: WHEN UNLOADING YOUR FIREARM ALWAYS PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, BARREL AND MAGAZINE CAREFULLY AFTER UNLOADING TO BE SURE ALL LIVE SHELLS ARE CLEARED FROM THE FIREARM.

UNLOADING THE FIREARM

1. Open the bolt and eject any shell in the chamber. Leave the bolt in the rearward position with the action open. 
2. Look into the chamber to verify that it is unloaded.
3. Press the magazine release button rearward and remove the magazine.
4. With the chamber empty and the magazine removed, close the bolt and place the “safety” in the on safe position.
5. Replace the empty magazine into the magazine well of the firearm.

UNLOADING THE MAGAZINE

1. Unload the magazine by pushing forward on the rim of the top shell and sliding each shell out, one at a time. 
2. Unload any extra magazines.

WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING SIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES, MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. REMOVE THE MAGAZINE, CHECK THE ACTION AND CHAMBER FOR SHELLS. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. 

WARNING: BEFORE MOUNTING A SCOPE, SIGHT OR OTHER ACCESSORIES TO YOUR FIREARM, PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. OPEN THE ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

The A-Bolt Shotgun receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases. From the factory, the scope base holes are fitted with filler screws. 

NOTICE: ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT BASES FOR THIS SHOTGUN AND THE APPROPRIATE LENGTH SCREWS.

1. Place your shotgun in a gun vise or on a table or other safe / secure location with the top of the receiver upward. Protect the finish with rags or other padding.
2. You should have compatible one- or two-piece style bases and four screws of the correct length.
3. Clean all oil, grease or dirt from the receiver top and from the scope base parts.
4. Remove all four filler screws from the top of the receiver using a very small, thin-bladed gunsmithing-type screwdriver.
5. Pre-position the bases on the receiver top to determine the best orientation of the bases. 
6. Insert the screws through the bases and screw them into the receiver top using the correct tool. You must use screws of the appropriate length to ensure proper thread engagement. Once the bases are installed, check inside the receiver to verify that the base mounting screws are not too long and interfering with the operation of the bolt.   Many gunsmiths find it helpful to use a drop of serviceable thread locking compound to assure the screws stay tight. Make sure the thread locking compound does not get into the action.  Be careful to ensure that the threads of each screw engage properly in the receiver to prevent stripping the threads in the receiver.
7. Tighten the screws snugly, but do not overtighten.
8. Mount your scope rings and scope as outlined in the instructions supplied with your scope rings and/or scope. Always make sure you have the proper eye relief. 

WARNING: BEFORE ADJUSTING THE TRIGGER, ALWAYS PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, BARREL AND MAGAZINE CAREFULLY AFTER UNLOADING TO BE SURE ALL LIVE SHELLS ARE CLEARED FROM THE FIREARM.

The A-Bolt Shotgun’s trigger is pre-set at the factory. The trigger pull weight can be adjusted within a range of approximately 3 to 6.5 pounds. Though additional trigger adjustments should be unnecessary, the trigger pull weight can be tuned to your specifications by performing the following procedure:

1. Press the magazine release in front of the trigger guard and allow the hinged floorplate/magazine unit to swing downward. 
2. Remove the magazine from the firearm. 
3. Open the bolt and verify the firearm is unloaded.
4. Remove the two screws that retain the trigger guard with a standard screwdriver (Figure 12). 
5. Lift the trigger guard out of the stock (Figure 13).
6. The trigger pull adjustment screw is located just behind the trigger (Figure 14). Use a small standard screwdriver to perform the adjustment. IMPORTANT: If trigger pull is increased too much, the trigger cannot be pulled. Turn the screw clockwise until the trigger can be pulled.
   • To increase the weight of the trigger pull, turn the adjustment screw in a counterclockwise direction. 
   • To decrease the weight of the trigger pull, turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. 
7. Trigger pull can be measured, with the firearm unloaded and the bolt closed, using a very accurate spring scale or a commercially available set of trigger pull measuring weights.  Most gunsmiths can also measure trigger pull for you.
8. When finished making the adjustment, replace the trigger guard back in the stock and reinstall the trigger guard screws snugly.

WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DISASSEMBLING AND CLEANING YOUR FIREARM TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF SPRINGS, SPRING-TENSIONED PARTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY. 

WARNING: KEEP ALL AMMUNITION AWAY FROM THE CLEANING AREA. NEVER  TEST THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF YOUR SHOTGUN WITH LIVE AMMUNITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

CLEANING PROCEDURES

Your A-Bolt Shotgun will function better and more reliably over a longer period of time if it is properly maintained and kept clean. Clean your firearm after every day of shooting, and more often if it becomes excessively dirty. A minimum cleaning includes wiping down the firearm and oiling key parts. Regular maintenance will also include cleaning the barrel. 

If you encounter a function problem be sure to give your firearm a thorough cleaning to see if it solves the problem before seeking the services of a Browning Recommended Service Center or our Service Facility in Arnold, Missouri, or a qualified gunsmith. 

1. Remove the bolt as explained previously.

2. Inspect the chamber and bore for powder fouling. A normal amount of powder residue can be expected and is not serious. It can usually be removed with a patch saturated with nitro solvent. 

Use a cleaning rod with a tip and patch large enough for a snug fit in the bore. Insert the rod and patch into the barrel at the breech end and run it back and forth several times. Care should be exercised to ensure that the cleaning rod does not strike the crown of the muzzle, as damage to this area can affect the accuracy of your firearm. If, or when, fouling should become heavy, it can be removed with a bronze bore brush. Dip or spray the brush with nitro solvent and scrub the chamber and bore until the fouling is removed. To prevent bristles from breaking off, the brush should be pushed completely through the barrel before being withdrawn.

NOTICE: USE ADDITIONAL CARE WHEN CLEANING THE A-BOLT SHOTGUN. THE EJECTOR SPRING (FIGURE 2, PAGE 11) PROTRUDES SLIGHTLY FROM THE SIDE OF THE RECEIVER AND CAN BE BENT OR DAMAGED WHEN A CLEANING ROD AND PATCH OR BRUSH ARE DRAWN PAST THE CHAMBER AND THROUGH THE RECEIVER.

Browning offers a complete line of products to make cleaning the bore of your firearm fast and easy. Be sure to follow all instructions when using any product to clean your firearm.

3. After all fouling has been removed, the chamber and bore should be wiped dry. When the bore is dry, pass a slightly oiled patch through it for preservation. A fine, light gun oil is recommended.

4. Inspect the barrel and chamber to be certain no patches have inadvertently been left in them. Remove any that remain.

5. Use a small brush or rag to remove dirt or other foreign matter from inside the receiver and other parts of the action. Lightly lubricate all moving parts with a high-quality, light gun oil. Use oil sparingly, a very light film is sufficient. A fine, light gun oil is ideally suited for this purpose.

NOTICE: DO NOT POUR LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL INTO THE RECEIVER OR OTHER PARTS. IT CAN DRAIN DOWN TO THE WOOD AND SOFTEN IT, CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE AND LOOSENING OF THE STOCK.

6. Wipe all exposed metal surfaces with a lightly oiled cloth making certain that all finger marks are removed. Finger marks provide a place where moisture can accumulate. The metal of the firearm should receive a light film of oil any time it has been exposed to weather or handling.

7. Wood surfaces can also be wiped with a quality, lightweight gun oil or they can be polished with any quality furniture wax (but not both).
