MAINTENANCE IN EXTREME WEATHER…
48
EXTREME COLD: Clean and lubricate Firearm in a warm room with Firearm at room
temperature. Do not lay a warm Firearm directly on snow or ice. Moving Firearm from cold
into warmth will cause condensation which could keep Firearm from functioning.
HOT WET CLIMATES: Clean and lube Firearm more frequently in moist climates.
Inspect hidden surfaces of Bolt and Carrier Assembly, Upper Receiver, and
Chamber/Barrel Extension (Locking Lugs), and Lower Receiver for rust or corrosion.
Also pay close attention to the Spring Loaded Detents on the Firearm. Wipe o any
hand/finger prints on the Firearm as they can accelerate the onset of rust or corrosion.
HOT, DRY CLIMATES: Take extra care with cleaning and lubrication as rifle will be
exposed to blowing sand and fine dust, and extreme temperature shifts (hot in the
daytime, freezing at night). Corrosion is less likely to form on metal parts in a dry
climate. Firearm should not require any lubrication.
HEAVY RAIN: DO NOT FIRE THE FIREARM IF WATER IS PRESENT IN THE BARREL:
Excess pressure can cause the Firearm to explode.
ALWAYS drain any water from Barrel prior to firing. Dry the Bore with a Swab and
Cleaning Rod if wet.
