Owner's Manual

CLEANING THE MAGAZINE
Frequently inspect magazines to determine the need for cleaning as
lubricant and dirt will gradually collect in the mechanism. Normally,
the magazine should be cleaned after firing 500 to 1000 cartridges.
1 Clean the magazine by spraying it both inside and out with an
aerosol solvent that will not adversely affect the polymer magazine
follower or corrode the metal components.
2 Cycle the magazine follower to loosen and remove dirt and grease.
3 Depress the follower and, using a cleaning rod with a tip and patch
that will fit into the top of the magazine, clean any deposits of
built-up material from the front of the magazine.
4 Spray the magazine again with polymer-safe solvent both inside
and out, to loosen debris.
5 Shake all excess solvent from the magazine and dry with a cloth or
blow dry with compressed air, if available.
