How do you unload a Winchester model 1400 semi-automatic shotgun? - Answers

Here in Scotland I have used a 1400 on and off for 35 years.I usually cycle the action to extract the cartridge in the chamber by pulling back the "cocking bolt"as far as it will go.Normally then the next cartridge in the magazine will "jump" into the chamber preparatory to being chambered in the barrel. You can then extract the cartridge by hand .If there is another cartridge in the magazine you would require to close the bolt by pressing on the magazine follower and then pulling back again on the cocking bolt to bring the cartridge in to the chamber for extraction by hand. A great gun!
