CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
With proper maintenance and care, your firearm will provide you with years of
dependable service. Your firearm should be inspected and cleaned
periodically to insure that it remains in good condition. Clean and lubricate your
firearm as soon as possible after use. This is especially important if your firearm has
been exposed to moisture. For maximum performance and continued satisfaction
with your firearm, periodic cleaning and lubrication are essential. Wear eye protection
during cleaning.
Use the instructions and equipment provided with a quality gun cleaning kit.
All metal parts should be cleaned with gun solvent and lightly lubricated with gun oil.
Over-lubrication should be avoided. Use only lubricants specifically designed for
firearms. Avoid the use of abrasives which may damage the metal finish.
If the firearm is to be stored for a long period of time it should be thoroughly
cleaned and oiled. Do not plug barrel or store in a fabric lined case that will absorb
lubricant from the gun.
Scrub bore and chamber with solvent and follow with cleaning patches until barrel is
clean. A final pass with a lightly oiled patch will provide a protective coating.
