DAMAGED, NON-STANDARD, OR IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED
MAGAZINES SHOULD NEVER BE USED. THEY CAN CAUSE
A MALFUNCTION, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
STICK MAGAZINE INSPECTION AND CARE
Check your stick magazine frequently to
insure it is in proper working condition. The
follower must move freely and have adequate
spring tension so that each cartridge is
quickly lifted to the feeding position.
To check the spring tension, load one
cartridge into the magazine and then firmly
press against the cartridge case. Remove
your finger quickly. The cartridge should
instantly and fully move into the feeding
position. If it does not, the magazine should
be cleaned. If cleaning does not restore
proper spring tension do not use the
magazine.
Should cleaning be necessary use a high
quality gun cleaning solution that will
not rust the metal. The magazine may be
disassembled by placing a small flat-blade
screwdriver into the slot in the magazine
baseplate and carefully lifting the tab to
clear the magazine tube. Next carefully use
the screwdriver blade to start sliding the
magazine baseplate off the tube by inserting
the blade between the baseplate and front
of the magazine tube. After the initial gap is
opened up between the baseplate and the
tube you can use your thumbs to complete
sliding the baseplate clear of the tube.
CAUTION: The magazine spring is under
tension and could come out causing injury.
To reassemble insert the magazine follower and spring. The spring is uni-
directional and can be installed either way in the magazine tube. While
compressing the spring into the tube slide the magazine baseplate on from the
rear. Finally insert the screwdriver blade into the tab and bend the tab down so
it is flush with the rear of the magazine tube.
