Remington® VERSAMAX TM Autoloading Shotguns1st COMMANDMENT ALWAYSKEEPTHEMUZZLEPOINTEDINASAFEDIRECTION. This is the most important firearm safety rule.A safe direction is one in which an accidental discharge will not cause injury to yourself or others. Never allow your firearm to point at anything you don't intend to shoot. Be especially care- ful when you're loading or unloading. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. And make it a habit to know where the muzzle is pointed at all times, even when your firearm is un-loaded. No one will be injured by an accidental discharge if you keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction. It's as simple as that. 2nd COMMANDMENT Load your firearm onlywhen you're in the field or on the target range and ready to fire. Never let a loaded firearm out of your sight or out of your hands. Unload it as soon as you're finished shooting - before you bring it into your car, camp or home. Remember, unloading your firearm means unloadingit completely, so there is no ammunition in the chamber or in the magazine. Before handling a firearm or passing it to someone else, visually check the chamber, receiver and magazine to be certain they do not contain ammunition. Always keep the firearm's action open when not in use. Never assume a firearm is unloaded even if you were the last person to use it. Always check for yourself. Firearms should be Unloaded When Not Actually in Use. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY The Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety should be etched in your memory forever.

Eliphalet Remington never lost sight of the fact that his rifles were potentially lethal and could kill someone if handled improperly. And after more than 190+ years the same holds true for any firearm, including your new Remington. Eliphalet Remington's first flintlock launched a proud tradition of accuracy and responsibility. Safety is Critical to Performance. A superbly crafted firearm is only as good as the hands that hold it. You can never be too careful. Shooting accidents are often caused by careless oversights such as failing to control the direction of the muzzle, failing to fully engage the safety, leaving ammunition in the chamber or using improper loads. These oversights can result in the destruction of life, limb or property. There's no calling back a bullet once it's been fired, so it's critical that you know the principles of safe firearm handling and stor- age before you ever take your new Remington firearm out of the box. The proper use and performance of your firearm depends on correct assembly and maintenance, so it's critical that you... »
