Owner's Manual

CLEANING THE MAGAZINE
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN CLEANING THE MAGAZINE TO PREVENT
SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING
IN INJURY.
Frequently inspect magazines to determine the need for cleaning as
lubricant and dirt will gradually collect in the mechanism. Normally,
the magazine should be cleaned after firing 500 to 1000 cartridges.
1 Remove the magazine from the rifle as explained previously.
2 Clean the magazine by spraying it both inside and out with
an aerosol solvent that will not adversely affect or corrode
the components.
3 Shake all excess solvent from the magazine and dry with a cloth or
blow dry with compressed air, if available.
4 Wipe off any dirt or residue, then apply a very thin coat of oil and
wipe clean again.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR FIREARM APART FURTHER THAN
EXPLAINED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL. YOUR FIREARM IS A
SPECIALIZED, FINELY FITTED MECHANISM. YOU MAY PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE IT BY ATTEMPTING TO DISASSEMBLE THE INNER MECHANISM
ASSEMBLIES. IF FURTHER DISASSEMBLY FOR SERVICE OR CLEANING IS
REQUIRED, TAKE YOUR FIREARM TO A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH, OR
CONTACT OUR ARNOLD, MISSOURI SERVICE FACILITY AS EXPLAINED
UNDER “SERVICE OR REPAIR” ON PAGE 31.
