CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
With proper care and handling, your American Tactical™ rearm will provide
you with years of dependable service. Your rearm should be inspected and
cleaned periodically to insure that it remains in good condition. Clean your
rearm as soon as possible after each use. This is especially important if your
rearm has been exposed to moisture.
Use the instructions and equipment provided with a quality gun cleaning kit.
All metal parts should be cleaned with an appropriate gun cleaning solvent
and lightly lubricated with gun oil. Over lubrication should be avoided. Use only
lubricants specically designed for rearms. Avoid the use of abrasives, which
may damage the metal nish.
Scrub the bores and chambers with solvent and follow with cleaning patches
until the barrels are clean. A nal pass with a lightly oiled patch will provide a
protective coating. Clean and remove any deposits in the barrels.
Lead deposits and residue can be dangerous to your health. We recommend
the use of Field Wipes, manufactured by Hygenall and exclusively marketed by
American Tactical. Please visit www.AmericanTactical.us for more information.
Be sure not to leave cleaning patches or excessive oil or grease in the bores as
they can create dangerous obstructions. Obstructions of any kind can cause
damage to the rearm and may result in serious personal injury to
the shooter and/or others nearby.
Normal use requires only that the mechanisms be free of excessive shooting
residue. Very little lubrication other than a light oiling of internal and external
surfaces is needed to prevent rust.
If the rearm is to be stored for a long period of time it should be thoroughly
cleaned and oiled. Do not plug the barrel or store the rearm in a fabric-lined
case that will absorb lubricant from the rearm.
The barrel and forearm assemblies can be removed from the stock/receiver
assembly and the stock can be removed from the receiver assembly, but
further disassembly should be performed by the manufacturer, American
Tactical and/or a qualied gunsmith only.
