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.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS BE CERTAIN THE REVOLVER IS UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING.
The internal mechanism of the Super Redhawk 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.
WARNING –LUBRICATION
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.
