Hatfield SAS 12ga

Your new Hatfield semi-auto shotgun utilizes a unique gas assist inertia action to cycle the action. Once the first round is fired the bolt will be kicked rearward eiecting the spent cartridge and picking up and loading a fresh round from the tubular magazine. This cycle will continue as each new round is fired until the last round in the magazine is fired, at which time the bolt will remain locked open indicating that the gun is empty. Hatfield semi-automatic shotguns can reliably cycle most 2-3/4 inches and 3 inches magnum shotgun shells. However, not all shotgun shells are made the same and only new factory ammunition of a recognized quality brand should be used to insure proper cycling. Safety switch: Never rely on the safety switch. A safety switch is a mechanical device and does not take the place of common sense when handling a gun in a safe manner. Keep the safety switch on at all times and never push it to the "fire" position until the gun is mounted to your shoulder and you are sighting your target.
