MAINTENANCE BEFORE STORAGE
When storing, do not encase your firearm in anything that will attract or hold moisture, for example, leather or
heavy cloth. Also, do not store guns with a plug inserted in the barrel for this can be a contributing factor to
moisture accumulation. If your firearm is to be stored for an extended period, the bore, the chambers and
internal working mechanism should be oiled with a high quality lubricating oil or preservative intended for
firearms. The external working mechanisms, lower and upper receiver, and barrel should be coated with anti-
rust oil. Before using your firearm again, be sure to clean it. If wear is noted, do not use the firearm. Return it
to Lewis Machine & Tool Co. for service or have it checked by a qualified gunsmith.
SAFE STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION
FIREARMS ARE DANGEROUS WHEN USED AND STORED IMPROPERLY. THEY POSE
A RISK OF SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. FIREARMS CAN BE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS TO
CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE STORED IN AN IRRESPONSIBLE AND UNSAFE MANNER. FOR YOUR
SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU KEEP YOUR FIREARM LOCKED
AND UNLOADED IN A SECURE PLACE. THE AMMUNITION SHOULD BE STORED IN A SEPARATE,
SECURE LOCATION WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE. SAFE AND SECURE STORAGE OF YOUR FIREARM IS
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES OF FIREARM SAFETY. YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS.
ALWAYS SECURE YOUR FIREARM IN A MANNER THAT WILL PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.
Whenever your firearm is not in use, keep it unloaded and locked. Your safety and the safety of others require
that you always secure and store your firearm in a manner that will prevent unauthorized access. Never leave
a firearm unattended unless it is locked.
ALWAYS USE A LOCK TO SECURE YOUR FIREARM. BY PURCHASING THIS FIREARM YOU HAVE
ACCEPTED THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SAFELY SECURING THE FIREARM AT ALL TIMES AND
PREVENTING ITS UNAUTHORIZED USE. Never assume that the use of a lock alone is sufficient to safely
secure your firearm. It is your personal responsibility to select and use whatever measures or practices that
will enable you to be absolutely certain that your firearm is secure at all times. A lock, when properly used, can
be an effective tool in preventing unauthorized access to your firearm. There are alternative locks and safe
storage containers available in the marketplace which may also be appropriate for your particular needs.
Consult your local weapon dealer, hardware store, or local police department for guidance on the variety of
other safe storage devices or practices which may be appropriate for your particular needs. Please read and
follow the instructions provided with the lock and or storage device that you have purchased to secure your
firearm.
NEVER LOCK A LOADED FIREARM AND NEVER LOAD A LOCKED FIREARM!!
NEVER ASSUME THAT A “HIDING” PLACE IS A SECURE STORAGE METHOD. Others may be aware of
your storage location or come upon it by chance. It is your personal responsibility to use common sense when
storing your firearm and ammunition and to always make sure they are not accessible to children or other
unauthorized persons.
NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. When transporting your firearm, be sure it is unloaded and
locked. Safe and secure transportation of your firearm is your responsibility.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LAW! Many jurisdictions have laws that make it a crime to keep a firearm unlocked
and in an area accessible to children or others. You must be familiar with all local, state, and federal laws
regarding the safe storage and transportation of your firearm. Failure to know and follow the law may result in
unauthorized access or use of your firearm by another. Obey all laws relating to the storage and transportation
of firearms. Your local police department or weapon dealer can furnish you with available information on
storing and/or transporting a firearm safely and legally.
YOUR FIREARM IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You must prevent your firearm from being stolen or from
being used by untrained or unqualified individuals. Keep it locked, unloaded and secured when not in use.
