Instruction Manual

32
adjustments that may be necessary to the operating
mechanism should be performed by the Manufacturer or a
Beretta authorized service center.
WARNING: Excess oil and grease obstructing the bore, even
partially, is very dangerous when firing and may cause barrel
rupture and serious injury to the shooter and bystanders. Never
spray or apply oil to cartridges. Use lubricants properly. You
are
responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your
firearm.
DISASSEMBLY
WARNING: Always be certain that the firearm is unloaded.
Please refer to the instructions given in the ”Load check”
paragraph. (See page 17).
Notice: It is advisable to carry out the field stripping and the
assembly operations over a table to catch components should
they drop.
Disassemble the firearm as previously described in this
manual. (See page 17).
CLEANING
• Visually inspect to verify that no ammunition remains
anywhere in the firearm.
• Remove fouling from the breech, magazine lips, follower, and
receiver with a brush and a cloth.
• Clean the barrel with bore solvent and a brush and then dry
it with cleaning patches. Always begin at the chamber end.
• Repeat until the barrel is clean.
• Thoroughly clean the bolt assembly area with a brush and
cloth (aerosol gun scrubber works great) to remove powder
residue and debris.
• Apply a thin coat of oil to all metal parts.
