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

If lead bullet loads are fired extensively, lead build-up may cause cylinder

binding. Lubricate the cylinder crane gap with Break-Free

CLP or some

other lubrication which meets mil. spec. Mil-1-63460 to prevent this

condition.

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.
