MAINTENANCE
Maintenance instructions tell the operator how to clean, lubricate, assemble, and do a functional check on the
revolver. Like any other precision mechanism, your revolver will perform better, last longer, and remain safer
when it is properly maintained. Follow the instructions in this section to keep your revolver in good condition.
Tools Required: Cleaning kit for revolvers
Materials Required: Dry, lint free cloth
Break-Free

CLP or good quality gun oil
Note: If the revolver has been used in salt air, water, mud, or sand, it should be completely disassembled, cleaned,
and inspected by a competent gunsmith or returned to Colt for service.
WARNING: ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE REVOLVER IS UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING, LUBRICATING,
AND/OR ASSEMBLING. MAKE SURE TO INSPECT ALL CHAMBERS AND MAKE SURE ALL ARE EMPTY. ALWAYS
KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. IF THIS REVOLVER IS CARELESSLY OR IMPROPERLY
HANDLED, AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE COULD RESULT AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, OR
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
WARNING: WEAR SAFETY GLASSES IN CASE YOU LOSE CONTROL OF SOME OF THE SPRING LOADED
COMPONENTS WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT FIELD STRIP YOUR REVOLVER ANY FURTHER THAN DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL. IF
YOU DO SO YOU WILL VOID YOUR SERVICE AGREEMENT. IF ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED, MAKE
SURE THAT THE REVOLVER IS NOT LOADED AND RETURN IT TO COLT FOR SERVICE. FOR SPARE PARTS,
SEEK ADVICE FROM THE DEALER, WHO SHOULD HAVE INFORMATION ON HOW TO OBTAIN GENUINE COLT
