Owner's Manual

toothbrush to loosen any caked-on grime. Wipe the receiver cavity
clean. Lightly oil the cavity and wipe it dry. No further disassembly
is required for cleaning.
2 Reassemble the trigger group, bolt assembly, gas system and the
barrel to the receiver as explained previously. Then wipe all exposed
metal surfaces with an oiled cloth, making sure to wipe clean all
finger marks where moisture will accumulate.
3 The barrel and action should be inspected to assure that all cleaning
patches have been removed and not inadvertently left in the barrel
or action.
CLEANING THE GAS SYSTEM
1 Remove the gas piston and piston sleeve from the magazine tube.
Spray the magazine tube with a good quality powder solvent and
wipe clean.
2 Spray the piston and piston sleeve with powder solvent and brush it
thoroughly to remove any deposits (an old toothbrush is ideal). Spray
the inside and wipe off any buildup. It will be easier to remove the
piston sleeve spring to clean the interior of the piston sleeve. NEVER
use a steel brush on any of the gas components.
3 Complete the cleaning of the gas system by applying a very light film
of oil (provided) to all parts for protection and lubrication.
DO NOT TAKE YOUR GUN’S ACTION APART BEYOND WHAT IS EXPLAINED
IN THIS MANUAL.
This is a specialized, finely fitted mechanism; an
attempt to remove the inner mechanism may mar it for life. It is
unnecessary, and may do damage to the inner mechanism, to
disassemble it for routine cleaning and oiling. Of course, misfortunes
(such as dropping your gun in water) require appropriate attention,
and in such circumstances we recommend you immediately take your
gun to a competent gunsmith.
