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 25.

properly.
Please contact us if you have any questions about it.
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
dealers, gun clubs or police departments. If none of these sources can
help you, write to the National Rifle Association, 11250 Waples Mill Rd.,
Fairfax, VA 22030-7400. They will assist you.
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The
RUGER
®
TRAP MODEL
shotgun which you have selected is a single
barrel, single shot, 12 gauge shotgun
specifically designed solely for the clay target
sport of trapshooting
. As such, it has many specialized features and characteristics
not found in other shotguns designed primarily for field shooting and hunting.
You
must thoroughly familiarize yourself with its mechanical characteristics and safe
handling procedures prior to ever taking it onto a trap field. It is strongly
recommended that this shotgun
only
be used for trapshooting, due to its
specialized mechanism and features.
Specialized features demanded by target trapshooters and found in the
RUGER
®
TRAP MODEL
Shotgun include:
An
adjustable rib
, which can be set for individual shooters’ stature, sight
picture, stance, and other preferences (see p. 26).
A
two-bead sighting system
located atop the adjustable rib (see p. 27).
5
A
target trigger
, adjustable for weight of pull (see p. 29).
A wide, cut-checkered
beavertail forend
for consistent front hand
positioning.
A
target-style pistol grip
of special shape and contour.
An
adjustable buttstock comb
, to accomodate various facial configurations,
stances, and hold-over for rising trap targets. It also is laterally adjustable
for “cast off” and “cast on” (see p. 28).
An
adjustable buttpad
, which can be set by the shooter for length of pull
and “cant” (the angle of the buttstock from the center line of the stock to
the left or right, as desired) (see p. 27).
Since single barrel trap guns are never loaded or closed until immediately
prior to a shooter calling “pull” to fire at a clay target (and are opened
immediately after firing or if firing is delayed) trap guns generally have
no separate manual safety/barrel selector
(see p. 15).
There is no
possibility that the shooter will be unable to fire due to forgetting to
correctly move the safety to the “fire” position for each shot during an
extended target competition tournament.
Another special feature of the Ruger Trap Model shotgun is its
straight
grooved “controlled pattern” bore
. It prevents rotation of the wad and shot
column while they move down the bore when fired. This minimizes shot
dispension and contributes to improved pattern density on targets at all
ranges. The 34” long barrel is also “back-bored” with a long forcing cone,
which contributes to lessening felt recoil and fatigue. This is especially
important to trapshooters, who routinely fire at hundreds of clay targets
during a match. It accepts the latest screw-in Ruger choke tubes, and is
supplied with “full” and “modified” choke tubes for trapshooting (see pp. 13
- 14).
THE BARREL ASSEMBLY
The
barrel
is silver soldered to the monoblock at the chamber portion of the
barrel. The
adjustable ventilated rib
is hinged at the rear and is securely
clamped to two barrel bands soldered to the barrel. The barrel bands have a
dovetail on top that the rib clamps are dovetailed into, allowing the rib to slide in
these dovetails as the barrel heats up from shooting. The rib also features a two
gold bead sighting system for alignment prior to shooting.
The
trunnions
(on which the barrels pivot) are mounted high, close to the
centerline of the barrel, and are integral with the receiver.
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 to resist wear.
