MAINTENANCE
9.0 Maintenance
All firearms require periodic maintenance and inspection which may reveal a need for adjustment or repair. Have your
firearm checked by a competent gunsmith annually even if it seems to be working well, since breakage, improper
functioning or corrosion of some components may not be apparent from external examination. If you notice any
mechanical malfunction, DO NOT continue to use the firearm. UNLOAD the firearm and take it to a competent
gunsmith immediately for a thorough examination. Similarly, if water, sand, or other foreign matter enters the
internal mechanism, immediately dismantle the firearm for a complete and thorough cleaning. Failure to keep your
firearm clean and in proper working order can lead to a potentially dangerous condition and an accident
causing serious bodily injury or property damage may result.
