Manual
obstruction occurs, keep the firearm pointing in a safe direction and pro-
ceed as follows:
• Any ammunition should be removed.
• Insert a proper size cleaning rod (without a tip or brush) into the bore
from the muzzle and remove the obstruction. If the obstruction does not
readily dislodge, it may be necessary to lightly tap the handle end of the
cleaning rod. Do not attempt to remove an obstruction using blank
ammunition, or ammunition from which the projectile (or shot) has been
removed, or by any other means other than the use of a cleaning rod.
Be certain all loose powder has been removed from the bore before
inserting the rod. If you are unable to remove the obstruction, take the
firearm to the nearest repair facility, or call GSI Inc., 108 Morrow
Avenue, P.O. Box 129, Trussville, Alabama 35173, Tel. (205) 655-8299.
• After removing the obstruction, reinspect the bore to be certain it is
free of powder particles or other debris. Clean the mechanism of
unburned powder grains.
