Instruction manual

a. Make certain the gun and the magazine are unloaded and that the

safety is “on” (S). Remember, the magazine should be removed first,

then check the chamber and be certain it and the magazine-well are

clear of cartridges.

b. Thoroughly clean the magazine and bolt mechanism, paying

particular attention to removing accumulated grease. Use a bristle

brush and solvent to remove grease and fouling from the bolt face, the

extractor, the chamber, and the feed ramp. (See the “Care and

Cleaning” section of this manual for detailed cleaning instructions.)

c. Check to see that the magazine spring tension is adequate.

d. Check the magazine lips to be certain they are free of nicks and

burrs and are not deformed.

e. Remove excess oil and solvent from all cleaned components, load the

magazine, and try the firearm again. As always, proceed slowly. Be

certain bystanders are not close and that you are wearing eye and

hearing protection and that your face is a safe distance from the pistol

so that any discharge resulting from a jammed cartridge will not injure

anyone.

If the above procedures do not result in a smooth and reliably functioning

firearm, don’t use the gun. The pistol can be returned directly to our Prescott

Product Service Department for repair. See the Service and Parts Policy section

of this manual for packing and shipping information.

Another precaution: when using any firearm chambered for rimfire cartridges,

form the habit of examining fired cartridge cases. If they have bulged heads or

frequently show splits on any part of the case, the rifle or pistol should be

returned to the factory for inspection.
