CLEANING
Use nitro solvent and a light gun oil to clean and lubricate the bore.
Clean the bolt assembly and upper receiver with solvent, then apply
a light coat of oil. Put a small amount of oil on the magazine tube
and the steel sleeve inside the front part of the forend.
A small brush will work better than a cleaning patch in some areas,
such as the receiver and the trigger group.
Too much oil can eventually become gummy and cause sticking
of parts and malfunctions. You must oil the steel surfaces to guard
against rust, but do so sparingly.

Slide the piston into place.
Fit the cocking slide to the piston, and the reassembled bolt to the
cocking slide, and slide it into the receiver.

Carefully pull back on the operating handle until the bolt locks open.
Fit the barrel/forend assembly over the magazine tube and into the
receiver.

WARNING
SCREW THE MAGAZINE EXTENSION ON TIGHT! THIS IS WHAT HOLDS THE GUN
TOGETHER! Check the magazine extension from time to time to be sure it is
tight. If it loosens. the bolt will remain locked shut after firing and the gun
will require simple disassembly to clear it and unlock the bolt. If there are
shells in the magazine. the magazine spring will be under extra tension. so
use caution when unscrewing the magazine extension.
DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN MAGAZINE EXTENSION.
..
CHECK FOR PROPER REASSEMBLY
Be sure the magazine extension is screwed on all the way.
Close the bolt.
If properly assembled the bolt will lock and it will not be possible
to open it until you move the quick employment safety to "on".
