4.4.2 Assembly

1. Install the follower and magazine spring plus floorplate catch in reverse order back

into the tube in exactly the same orientation as they were in when they were first

removed during disassembly (4.4 Fig. 2 and 3). Never use excessive force when

assembling the magazine.

2. While holding the floorplate catch in the tube, slide the floorplate onto the tube so

that the round projection of the floorplate catch engages the hole in the floorplate.

There will be an audible “snap” heard.

4.5 Cleaning the Pistol

Your firearm is a precision instrument. To ensure the reliable function of the pistol, it

is necessary to establish routine maintenance procedures.

Check that the pistol is unloaded (magazine removed from pistol and

chamber clear). Also ensure that the magazine is unloaded.

After each use of the pistol or after being subjected to extreme weather conditions,

the pistol should be cleaned and lubricated. Also, before using the pistol for the first

time, it should be examined and cleaned. The pistol has been treated with either a

preservative or oil to protect it against corrosion. Before using it, all excess oil should

be wiped from the bore, chamber, and exposed areas using a clean swab or patch.

Field-strip the pistol as previously described. Starting with the barrel and from

chamber end, insert a brush through the bore of the barrel until the bristles

completely exit at muzzle end. Pull the brush back until the bristles completely exit at

chamber end. Use a good powder-removing solvent and brass bristle bore brush to

remove lead and firing residue from the interior of the barrel. Wipe the areas clean

with patches or a swab.

Using a small brush dipped in solvent, remove all deposits from around the breech

face, chamber end of the barrel, extractor and adjacent areas which have been

exposed to powder or primer residue. Remove any residue on the frame with light

brushing and a solvent. After cleaning, apply a light film of high quality gun lubricant

to all external metal surfaces and wipe clean.

If the pistol will be used or stored in a cold climate, be sure to use appropriate

lubricant that will not congeal at low temperatures.
