Notice! DO NOT USE TOO MUCH LUBRICANT. EXCESSIVE
LUBRICATION COULD INTERFERE WITH THE FUNCTION OF
YOUR RIFLE.
20.3. CLEANING THE MAGAZINE
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN CLEANING THE MAGAZINE
TO PREVENT SOLVENT, DEBRIS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM
CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY.
We do not recommend disassembling the magazine. Frequently inspect
magazines to determine the need for cleaning as lubricant and dirt will
gradually collect in the mechanism.
1. Clean the magazine by spraying it with a polymer-safe aerosol gun
cleaner that will not adversely affect the follower or corrode the metal
components. Spray the magazine with this solvent, both inside and out,
to loosen debris.
2. Drain the solvent and residue from inside the magazine.
3. Use compressed air to dry the magazine or allow it to air dry and
lightly oil.
21. ASSEMBLY
21.1. INSTALLATION OF THE GAS PISTON AND GAS REGULATOR
Notice! DO NOT APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE GAS PISTON,
GAS REGULATOR OR GAS BLOCK, THESE COMPONENTS ARE
NOT TO BE LUBRICATED IN ANY WAY. USING LUBRICATION
IN THE GAS SYSTEM COULD DAMAGE YOUR RIFLE.
10. Wipe all exposed metal surfaces with a lightly oiled cloth making
certain that all finger marks are removed. Finger marks provide a place
where moisture can accumulate. The metal of the firearm should
receive a light film of oil any time it has been exposed to weather or
handling.
20.2. CLEANING THE TRIGGER MODULE
The trigger module has been adjusted at the factory to provide a short, crisp
pull consistent with safety and reliability. It is recommended that no
attempt be made to change the weight of pull of the trigger.
Notice! DO NOT ALTER OR ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE
ANY PART OF THE TRIGGER MODULE.
If any service of the trigger module or bolt becomes necessary, send the
entire rifle to the FNH USA Service Center in Arnold, Missouri (Section 23)
or contact your departmental armorer.
1. Remove the magazine and make certain the rifle is completely
unloaded and the “safety” selector is in the on safe position as
in Section 9.
2. Remove the trigger module as explained in Section 19.1.
3. After removing the trigger module, place the “safety” selector in the
off safe position.
4. Release the hammer by placing your thumb over the hammer and
pulling the trigger. Be sure to keep tension on the hammer and lower
it slowly to the forward resting position.
Notice! NEVER ALLOW THE HAMMER TO SLAM FORWARD,
THIS MAY DAMAGE THE TRIGGER MODULE.
5. Perform any cleaning of the parts and receiver cavity as necessary. We
suggest cleaning the trigger group with a polymer-safe aerosol gun
cleaner. Allow it to dry and then very lightly lubricate the trigger and
hammer contact points.
