UTION! THE MAGAZINE SPRING IS
UNDER PRESSURE. Be sure to contain
the Spring when withdrawing the pin to
prevent damage and/or injury.
Remove the Magazine Spring and
Magazine Follower (E) through the bot-
tom of the Magazine Tube.
The Magazine is now completely disas-
sembled (see photo #7). Clean all parts
thoroughly with solvent. Wipe all parts
lightly with lubricant-moistened cloth
before reassembly.
CA
UTION! DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE.
Lubricant can penetrate the primer of
ammunition and render it inoperative
causing a failure to fire.
Inspect the Magazine Base and
Magazine Base Lock for cracks. Inspect
the Magazine Tube for cracks or voids in
the seam weld area. Inspect Magazine
Follower for chips and cracks. Check the
18. When preparing to fire, be sure that
the area behind the slide is free of
obstructions (watch your thumb) as the
slide will move back sharply upon firing.
19. Never drink alcoholic beverages or
take drugs before or during shooting as
your vision and judgment can be serious-
ly impaired, making your gun handling
unsafe.
20. Always seek a doctor’s advice if you
are taking medication to be sure you are
fit to shoot and handle a firearm safely.
21. Always wear ear protection when
shooting, especially on a range. Without
ear protection, the noise of firing can
lead to cumulative long-term and perma-
nent hearing loss.
Magazine Disassembly,
Maintenance & Reassembly
Disassembly
Ensure that the Magazine is unloaded.
Insert a 1/8” or smaller pin (or length of
stiff wire, etc.) through the bottom sight
holes in the Magazine Tube (A), between
coils of the Magazine Spring (D). This will
contain most of the spring tension during
disassembly. Using a small punch (or
ball-point pen or similar expedient),
depress the locking stud of the
Magazine Base Lock (B) through the
hole in the bottom of the Magazine Base
(C) (see photo #6).
Push the Magazine Base forward off the
Magazine Tube. The pin previously insert-
ed in the bottom sight holes of the
Magazine Tube now contains the
Magazine Spring under some compres-
sion. Point the bottom of the Magazine
Tube in a safe direction, contain the
Spring’s free end protruding from the bot-
tom with your thumb, and carefully with-
draw the pin from the Magazine sight
holes.
