Only when you are certain you fully understand the Manual and can
properly carry out its instructions should you practice loading, etc. with
live ammunition. If you have any doubts about your ability to handle or
use a particular type of gun safely, then you should seek supervised
instruction. Such personalized instruction is often available from gun

The person possessing a gun has a full-time job. You cannot guess; you
cannot forget. You must know how to use your firearm safely.
Do not use
any firearm without having a complete understanding of its particular
characteristics and safe use.
Remember: There is no such thing as a
foolproof gun.

WARNING – LOCKING DEVICES
DO NOT INSTALL
INSIDE TRIGGER GUARD
This firearm was originally sold
with a key-operated locking
device. While it can help provide
secure storage for your
unloaded
firearm, any locking device can
fail. All guns are designed to fire
if they are loaded and the trigger
is pulled. Therefore,
never install
the locking device inside the
trigger guard or in any way that
it can possibly pull the trigger!
Do not leave the keys in the lock.
The ultimate responsibility for
secure storage of any firearm
must depend upon its owner and
his or her individual
circumstances. Guns should be
securely stored unloaded, in a
secure location, separate from
their ammunition.
See “Storage Warning”, page 21.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The
RUGER
®
RED LABEL OVER & UNDER SHOTGUN
is a two-
shot, double barreled shotgun that comes in a variety of gauges, stock
configurations and barrel lengths. All current models come with “screw-in” choke
tubes of various degrees of choke.
The
SPORTING CLAYS
model has 30” barrels, no barrel spacer and a two-
bead sighting system.
The
WOODSIDE
model comes in a variety of barrel lengths and features
graceful wooden side panels precision inlet into specially designed cutouts in the
side of the receiver.
The
ALL-WEATHER
model comes in three barrel lengths. It features a
stainless-steel mechanism, action, and barrels. The stock and forend are a
synthetic polymer.
THE SAFETY MECHANISMS
The trigger mechanism includes a
hammer interrupter
which directly blocks the
hammers if either or both are cocked and the safety is engaged. With the safety off,
the hammer interrupter can be lifted clear of the hammers only by a
5
deliberate pull of the trigger. A complete release of the trigger is necessary to set
the gun for firing the second shot. The automatic safety mounted on top of the
receiver also serves as the barrel selector that determines which of the two
barrels is to be fired first. The conical pointed firing pins are strongly
proportioned and will not be damaged by dry-firing.
The
sliding safety thumbpiece
, in addition to its fore and aft motion, pivots to
swing from side to side and thus incorporates the function of
barrel selector
in
association with the single trigger mechanism. In its rear, or “safe” position, the
safety mechanism locks the
hammer interrupte
r – a unique characteristic of this
gun. In this position, it is impossible for the hammers to reach the firing pins.
The hammer interrupter, in turn, locks the trigger against being pulled. The
sequence of firing is set with the safety in its rearmost “safe” position. If the
thumbpiece is swung to its left side position and pushed forward, the selector
allows the top barrel to be fired first. If the thumbpiece is swung to the right side
and pushed forward, the selector allows the bottom barrel to be fired first.
Under recoil, an inertia weight swings to the rear and pulls the sear selector out
of engagement with the sears. The sear selector is inoperative until the inertia
weight returns to its forward position, so the gun is thus made safe from
“doubling” (firing both barrels with a single pull of the trigger). This mechanism
has the desirable feature of permitting the second barrel to be discharged even if
the first pull of the trigger results in a misfire. The second shot can be fired
whether the gun has recoiled or not.
The
hammers
are of the rebounding type. After firing, they move back from the
firing pins enough to clear then and are held in this position by the mainspring.
The rebound position of the hammers means that their cocking motion is not
started until after the barrels are partially opened, and this contributes materially
to the easy opening of the gun. The hammers cannot fall completely forward to
reach the firing pins unless the locking bolt, which lies directly ahead of them, is
in its forward position when the barrels are locked shut in the frame.
THE BARREL ASSEMBLY
The
barrels
are silver brazed to the monobloc at the chamber portion of the
barrel. The ventilated rib is securely silver brazed to the top barrel and machine-
cut cross serrations in the top surface of the rib provide a matte, glare-free
sighting plane. The front sight is a standard gold bead. Patented barrel side fillers
can be removed if desired. (Sporting clays models do not have these fillers and
also feature a two gold bead sighting system).
The
trunnions
(on which the barrels pivot) are mounted high, close to the
centerline of the lower barrel, and are integral with the receiver. This is the only
gun in the world of which this is true.
In addition to trunnions, a massive
square lug
at the bottom rear of the
monobloc locks into the thick bottom wall of the receiver to provide extra
security for the barrel-to-frame lock-up.
Projecting from the rear end of the barrel assembly, one on either side, are two
heavy, integral heat-treated
lugs
which are engaged by the locking bolt as it
slides forward when the gun is closed. The locking bolt is, in effect, a wedge, due
to the angle of the locking faces. These faces have more than adequate area and
are hardened and precision-ground.
