Apologies in advance for a question I am sure has been asked before, but here goes.
I've been shooting an AyA #2 for a couple of years, and that lever on the detachable side locks has my curiosity. I know nothing about the mechanics of a shotgun, and so have no business removing the locks. But I would love to take them off and see if I can figure out what's going on.
Is this simply a bad idea, and so should I just leave well enough alone? If it's OK to do, does it matter whether I remove them when the gun is cocked or fired?
Thanks.
