21.4. PERIODIC LUBRICATION
The metal parts of your firearm should receive a light film of oil after the
firearm has been exposed to weather or handling.
Occasionally, a drop of lightweight gun oil may be placed inside the
receiver on the rails on which the bolt slides, and on the surface of the
magazine tube, where the forearm slides. This will help relieve friction
and ensure smooth operation.
If the firearm has been exposed to excessive dust, dirt, mud or water, the
principal working parts should be wiped clean and lubricated with a light
film of quality, lightweight gun oil.

The trigger group and bolt can be removed if the action becomes excessively
dirty or wet. If this occurs, disassemble the action for a complete cleaning
as explained in the following sections. The trigger group and bolt assembly
of the P-12 shotgun are designed to be removed in the field without
special tools.
Disassembly of the action involves the removal of the bolt assembly and the
trigger group. Disassembly beyond this point should only be performed by a
qualified gunsmith.
