Cleaning the Barrel and the Chamber
If the pistol has not been fired or if only a few cartridges have been fired, clean the
barrel and chamber with a clean patch attached to the cleaning rod. Repeat the cleaning,
changing patches, until the last patch comes out clean.
When the barrel is very dirty, apply a gun cleaning solution using a cleaning brush. Let
the solvent act for about 10 minutes (this time may vary depending on the solvent agent
being used). Then thoroughly scrub out the barrel. Subsequently, dry the barrel and chamber
with a clean patch and check that all powder residues or fouling have been removed. If
necessary repeat this procedure.
The cleaning rod and the brush must be inserted into the barrel from the chamber, to
prevent wear or damage to the muzzle. Pass the brush all the way through the barrel before
reversing the movement. If you try to change directions with the brush in the barrel, the
brush could stick.
Cleaning of Other Parts
Other parts of the pistol (including the external surfaces of the barrel) can be cleaned
with a dry cloth, old toothbrush, brass bristle brush or a wooden scraper. Preserving oil or
paraffin oil can be used for proper cleaning. Never use an agent designed for barrel
cleaning. These solutions could remain in the joints, and after some time could cause
corrosion.
Check that cloth particles or brush bristles have not become lodged in any part of the
pistol.
Preserving the Pistol
When the barrel, chamber, and all accessible parts are clean and dry, wipe these parts
with a cloth soaked in gun oil or apply the oil in spray form. Remove all excess oil.
Before shooting always pull through the barrel with a dry patch. At very low
temperatures remove the oil from all accessible parts or apply a lubricant especially for these
conditions.
Use thick preserving agents such as preserving grease only for long-term storage in
severe climatic environments, and remove it thoroughly before use from all parts of the
firearm.
Waste Management
When used properly, the materials used in the product and its packaging have no
adverse effects on human health or the environment. When disposing of the product or its
packaging, metal parts (steel and non-ferrous metals), plastics, wood, paper and cardboard
should be stored separately in collecting containers intended specifically for that purpose.
