Detailed Cleaning Techniques [cont]

Colt Canada does not recommend removal of the Ejector. Instead follow these techniques.

• Apply 2 or 3 drops CLP or oil to the ejector and depress the ejector in and out.

• Dry excess oil.

UPPER RECEIVER

• Use an oiled bore brush to gently clean around the ends of the gas tube.

Take care to ensure that you DO NOT forcefully deflect the gas tube while cleaning as this

could cause premature wear or damage.

• Lightly apply CLP or oil inside the charging handle guide, bore, and chamber.

• Apply 2 drops of CLP or oil to the front sight detent then depress and release the detent to work the

oil into the spring.

• Apply CLP or oil to the latch and spring of the charging handle.

DO NOT use a wire brush on ALUMINIUM surfaces such as the receivers as it could cause

premature wear and damage. If cleaning is required, use a toothbrush and flannel with the

cleaning solution to avoid scratching the surfaces.

LOWER RECEIVER

• Using a toothbrush and pipe cleaner, clean all areas of propellant, residue, and dirt.
