Manual

Firing a revolver with oil, grease, or any

other material even partially obstructing the

bore may result in damage to the revolver

and serious injury to the shooter and those

nearby.

Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on

ammunition. If the powder charge of a

cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may

not be ignited, but the energy from the

primer may be sufficient to push the bullet

into the bore where it may become lodged.

Firing a subsequent bullet into the

obstructed bore may damage the revolver

and cause serious injury or death to the

shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants

properly. You are responsible for the proper

care and maintenance of your firearms.

IMPROPER LUBRICATION

DESTROYS GUNS

6. Open and close cylinder. Function the trigger and hammer single action and

double action to be certain that all parts are working properly.

CARE AND CLEANING

ALWAYS BE CERTAIN THE REVOLVER IS UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING.

The internal mechanism of the GP100 revolver can be lubricated without

disassembly. A few drops of light oil recommended as suitable for firearms,

applied periodically about the various frame openings, will work its way into the

mechanism parts. The exterior of the revolver and the bore and chambers should

be thoroughly cleaned and then wiped with an oily cloth if the gun is to be

stored. Do not apply excess lubrication.

To clean the revolver after firing, swing the cylinder out and clean the barrel

from the muzzle by running a cleaning rod with a solvent coated patch through

the bore several times. A bronze wire brush (of correct size for gun caliber)

attached to the cleaning rod should then be pushed the full length of the bore

several times. Again swab the bore with a solvent coated patch. Then wipe the

rod clean and, using a dry patch, swab the bore until it is clean. Examine the

bore to be sure that no fouling remains. Repeat the above procedure for each of

the six chambers.

Chambers must be thoroughly scrubbed to remove build-up of bullet metal and

firing residue. A dirty chamber can prevent full seating of a cartridge, which in

turn causes the cylinder to bind. DO NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE OIL TO

UNDERSIDE OF EJECTOR – AREA SHOULD BE WIPED DRY WITH OILY

CLOTH. Also, the underside of the ejector (‘star’) and the area of the cylinder

where the ejector seats, must be clean. Dirt can prevent the ejector from fully

seating. That condition can cause hard closing of the cylinder and interfere with

proper cylinder rotation.
