When it is necessary to clean the firing mechanism, it should be done without
removing it from the pistol grip, as this operation should only be performed by
a Master Armorer.
Lubrication.
Lubrication is an indespensible compliment to cleaning, to conserve the
weapon, and keep it functioning correctly.
Lubrication is necessary to keep the parts from rusting. It is necessary on the
outer surfaces, and on those that are exposed to friction or movement.
Lubrication can convert itself into a dangerous cause of oxidation, and
deterioration of the weapon, if the following rules are not followed:
a) No part should be lubricated that isn't perfectly clean and dry.
b) When the weapon is not frequently used, it is important that the lubrication
be renewed, because if it is not redone, instead of being preventive it can
produce the opposite effect.
c) Excessive lubrication of the weapon is not advised. A drop of oil on each
roller and between the bolt head and the bolt support are sufficient for its
correct functioning.
d) In rainy or humid conditions or circumstances, lubrication should be kept on
the different metal parts, interior as well as exterior. A light coat of lubricant,
which will be placed on a rag, should than be rubbed on the weapon.
e) In dry or dusty conditions, a weapon that has been excessively lubricated is
more likely to jam than one that is clean and dry, without any lubricant at all.
f) under no circumstances should oil or grease be used in the magazines
