pistol, clean the anti-rust compound from the inside of the barrel,
receiver and the action-chamber areas. A fine, light gun oil is ideal for
removing this compound and for giving your new firearm its first
lubrication. However, any quality firearm oil may be used. Clean the
barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as explained under “Cleaning
and Maintenance Suggestions on pages 23-26. If your Buck Mark
pistol is to be stored, it is acceptable to leave the rust preventative
compound on the pistol and keep it in its original packaging.
THIS IS A SPECIALIZED, FINELY FITTED MECHANISM. DO NOT TAKE YOUR
FIREARM’S ACTION APART BEYOND WHAT IS EXPLAINED IN THIS
OWNER’S MANUAL. IT IS UNNECESSARY, AND MAY PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE THE INNER MECHANISM OR RENDER THE FIREARM UNSAFE
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 FIREARM TO A
QUALIFIED GUNSMITH.
AMMUNITION
DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING
FIREARMS OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO
LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS,
REPRODUCTIVE HARM AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY
AFTER EXPOSURE.
BUCK MARK PISTOLS ARE CHAMBERED FOR 22 LONG RIFLE CARTRIDGES
ONLY. DO NOT USE AMMUNITION OTHER THAN WHAT IS INSCRIBED ON
THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BARREL. EXAMINE EVERY CARTRIDGE YOU PUT
IN YOUR BUCK MARK PISTOL.
