CLEANING
Your Dan Wesson revolver should be kept clean and lightly oiled. Powder residue can easily be removed by scrubbing out the barrel and chambers
with any commercially available gun solvent and a soft bristle brush,
Barrel leading (caused by firing soft lead bullets) and residue from jacketed bullets can be removed using solvent and a brass wire brush. Always
push brush or cleaning patch completely through barrel or chambers before reversing direction to prevent the possibility of brushes or patches
becoming lodged in the bore or chamber.
The cylinder center hole and the upper crane leg should be cleaned at approximately 2000 rounds or whenever cylinder rotation becomes sluggish.
After brushing, run a lightly oiled flannel patch through the bore and chambers; followed by a dry patch to remove excess oil.
Note: Wipe exterior surfaces of revolver with a lightly oiled patch or cloth after handling to prevent corrosion from body salts and moisture.
STORAGE
Always unload your revolver and store revolver and ammunition in separate, locked containers out of sight and reach of children.
Note: Do not store in an airtight container and do not seal barrel or chambers to keep out dust, since trapped, moisture laden air can cause
corrosion
