Owner's Manual

5. Install the recoil spring assembly on the pistol by holding the forward portion of the receiver

with your left hand, and with your right hand, insert the recoil spring retainer into the bolt

carrier channel. Move the recoil spring cam forward, placing its guide lugs in front of the

grooves in the receiver rear plate. Depress the recoil spring cam until its guide lugs are aligned

with the channel on the top of the receiver rear plate. Release pressure on the recoil spring

cam which will allow it to move rearward and lock into the receiver.

6. To install the receiver cover on the pistol, begin by rotating the rear sight upward so that it is

out of the way. Hold the pistol by the forward portion of the receiver with your left hand and

with your right hand insert the front edge of the receiver cover into the groove in the back of

the rear sight base. Press the back end of the receiver cover forward and downward with the

heel of your right hand until the recoil spring cam slides back into place and locks the receiver

cover down.

7. Release the hammer by pulling the trigger and move the safety lever to the "SAFE" position.

Cleaning the Pistol

WARNING!

Before beginning the cleaning process, check to ensure the pistol is

unloaded. (See the Unloading the Pistol section on page 10.)

WARNING! You should wear eye protection, such as shooting glasses or goggles,

when cleaning your firearm to protect your eyes from tensioned parts, such as

springs, that may become dislodged during disassembly.

1. Obtain a quality pistol cleaning kit and thoroughly review the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Follow the pistol disassembly procedures. (See page 10.)

3. To clean the barrel, select the correct caliber cleaning brush and attach it to a cleaning rod.

Note: Always clean the barrel from the chamber end to the muzzle.

4. Dampen the brush with gun cleaning solvent and then push the brush through the barrel

several times.

5. Remove the brush and attach a correctly sized cloth cleaning patch to the cleaning rod and

push it through the barrel several times to remove loosened fouling.

6. Repeat this process with the brush and cleaning patches until a final patch comes out clean

after swabbing the bore. Lightly oil the bore.

7. Remove shooting residue from the pistol's action parts and outer surfaces by wiping them

with a soft cloth dabbed in gun cleaning solvent. Then be sure to remove all excess solvent and

dry them.

8. Finally, wipe down all outer surfaces with a soft cloth dipped in a good quality gun oil.
