correct, and that no solvent or debris remain. Do not disassemble the magazine.
Improper reassembly or improper tensioning of the rotor spring can cause a
potentially dangerous malfunction. If you experience a problem with the
magazine, don’t use it. Get a new one.

CARE AND CLEANING
Make Sure Gun is Unloaded!
Before cleaning, be certain the rifle and its magazine contain no cartridges.
Cleanliness is most important to the function of this blow-back operated
autoloading firearm. Any failures to feed or extract rounds may be indications of
a dirty chamber. Use commercially available bore cleaning solution and a brass
brush, followed by drying with a cloth patch, to remove any powder residue. An
excess of dirt, powder residue, or oil in the chamber will cause malfunctions and
may result in potentially dangerous cartridge case ruptures and release of hot
gasses and case fragments when firing.
At regular intervals, or whenever the rifle has been exposed to sand, dust,
extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse
conditions, disassemble, clean and oil it. Proper periodic maintenance is essential
to the reliable functioning of any firearm.
To clean the rifle, proceed as follows:
1. Disassemble (field-strip) the rifle to the extent described on page 19.
2. Using a cleaning rod, run a solvent-wetted patch through the bore several
times. Then attach a solvent-wetted bristle brush to the rod and run it back
and forth the full length of the bore as many times as necessary to remove
grease and dirt from the bore and chamber. Clean bore with dry patches and
