BORE OBSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: SNOW, MUD, SAND, OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE BARREL BORE
BEFORE FIRING. If you attempt to fire with an obstruction in the barrel, it may BULGE or BURST THE BARREL OR
CYLINDER AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, and OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
1. To remove water, snow, mud, or sand from the barrel, hold the revolver with the muzzle down, open
the cylinder and shake the revolver vigorously until the barrel is clear. If necessary use a cleaning rod
to clear the barrel.
2. Close the cylinder.
3. The revolver can now be fired.
Note: Clean and lubricate the revolver as soon as possible after clearing any obstruction or whenever it has been
exposed to water.
BULLET IN BARREL
If a noticeable difference in sound or recoil is experienced, or if there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is stuck
in the barrel, immediately unload the revolver (as described in Actions 1, 2, 3, & 4 on page 31) and look through
the bore, not just in the cylinder. A bullet may be lodged down the barrel and may not be easily seen. If a bullet is
stuck in the barrel, bring the revolver to a competent gunsmith to dislodge the bullet.
WARNING: BEFORE LOOKING THROUGH THE BORE, ENSURE THE REVOLVER IS UNLOADED. THE
REVOLVER IS CLEAR ONLY WHEN CYLINDER IS EMPTY AND IN THE OPEN POSITION. IF THE REVOLVER IS
CARELESSLY OR IMPROPERLY HANDLED, AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE COULD RESULT AND COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
WARNING: IF A BULLET IS STUCK IN THE BARREL, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING
ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK, AS DOING SO COULD GENERATE EXCESS
PRESSURE, CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE REVOLVER, OR CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
