WARNING –LUBRICATION

OIL

Insert rod from the chamber end of the barrel and push firmly so the patch or

brush emerges from the muzzle. Don’t reverse the rod when a brush or patch is

being used – it may bind. Don’t use patches or brushes dripping with solvent or

oil. Use rod and brushes with care so as not to damage gun.

1. Disassemble (field-strip) the rifle to the extent described on pages 21 - 22.

2. Push-pull a solvent-wetted patch through the bore several times. Next, using a

solvent-wetted brush, run it the full length of the bore as many times as is

necessary to completely remove all foreign matter from the bore and cham-

ber. Dry the bore with clean patches and examine it. If bore remains fouled,

repeat the brushing. Complete the cleaning by dry-patch wiping of bore and

chamber.

3. Use a clean, solvent-wetted patch to remove firing residue and dirt from all

“reachable” surfaces inside the receiver. Use the solvent-wetted toothbrush to

dislodge caked dirt from all parts of the bolt assembly and from surfaces inside

the receiver that can’t be reached with a patch. Use cleaning patches or the

cloth to remove the solvent.

4. Wipe all surfaces – internal and external – with a very light coat of oil. Oil and

similar preparations “collect” dirt particles which can interfere with reliable

functioning of the rifle. Therefore, use these preparations very sparingly. A

drop of oil applied to the bolt assembly components, the pivot points of the

trigger mechanism, the safety, the bolt stop, and the magazine latch, will work

into all the parts that need lubrication.

5. Reassemble the rifle and carefully wipe all solvent, lubricating and preservative

preparations from the stock.

6. If the rifle is to be stored for an extended period, clean the rifle thoroughly.

Disassemble to the extent described elsewhere in this manual, taking care to

put pins and similar easily mislaid and “rolling” components in a tray. Rewipe

all surfaces with preservative oil. Reassemble and store properly.

Firing a rifle with oil, grease, or any other materi-

al even partially obstructing the bore may result

in damage to the rifle and serious injury to the

shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply

lubricants directly on ammunition. If the powder

charge of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant,

it may not be ignited, but the energy from the

primer may be sufficient to push the bullet into

the bore where it may become lodged. Firing a

subsequent bullet onto the obstructed bore may

damage the revolver and cause serious injury or

death to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubri-

cants properly. You are responsible for the proper

care and maintenance of your firearm.
