2. Wipe powder residues and solvent from the barrel bore and
chamber with cleaning patches.
3. Clean external surfaces of barrel 1 with a brush dipped in
gun solvent.
4. Clean the metal guide in the frame 19, the inside and out-
side surfaces of the slide 4, the locking insert 20 and recoil
spring unit 2 with a brush or rag. Then lightly lubricate with
a treated cloth.
5. Lightly lubricate the inside and outside of the barrel.
7.2 Cleaning the pistol
Never clean barrel 1 from the muzzle end and do not use
steel wire brush as it can destroy the smooth surface of
the bore. Use a suitable cleaning rod and brush of
matching caliber (see Sect. 10).
Solvents can be harmful to the surface finish of the pistol.
Read the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions before
using solvents or cleaners.
Use only solvents, cleaners and lubricants specifically
designed for firearms.
