MAINTENANCE

Your pistol is a precision instrument and to insure reliable function, it is necessary to

follow a routine maintenance procedure. After firing your pistol, be sure to unload it

following the procedure outlined in the section entitled "Unloading" before any

cleaning or maintenance procedure.

Your pistol should be cleaned by brushing the barrel bore and chamber with a good

powder removing solvent and bore brush. Wipe the areas clean with patches or a

swab. Using a small brush dipped in solvent, remove all deposits from around the

breech of the barrel, chamber, extractor, and adjacent areas which have been

subjected to the action of powder or primer residue. Remove any residue on the

frame with light brushing and a solvent. After cleaning the entire gun, use cloth to

apply a light coating of high quality gun oil to all external surfaces and wipe clean.

For a more detailed cleaning, the pistol should be disassembled as described in the

section "Disassembly".

The included 5/64" allen wrench can be used to loosen the rear sight screw. With the

screw loose the rear sight can be adjusted for windage. Re-tighten the screw to lock

the sight in place, do not over tighten.
