CLEANING

AND MAINTENANCE:

The unique design of your Luger pistol greatly

simplifies normal cleaning and lubricating proce-

dures. It's greatly advanced unit construction will

enable the user to clean the entire firing mechanism

by simply soaking in kerosene. A soft bristle brush

can be used with kerosene to remove stubborn dirt

or powder deposits. DO NOT USE COARSE WIRE

BRUSHES.

The take-down plunger hole (J) located at the

back of the frame, is directly in line with the bore

of the barrel. For this reason the bore can be

cleaned by inserting a rod through the plunger hole.

Damage to the rifling and possible loss of accuracy

is thereby prevented. (Never clean a rifled barrel

from the muzzle end if it can possibly be cleaned

from the opposite end.)

After cleaning and drying the kerosene-washed

parts, oil moving surfaces lightly with a good grade

of gun oil. Do not use general purpose oils or auto-

motive oi Is because these tend to harden and gum

when mixed with gun-powder deposits.

DO NOT USE

STRONG

SOLVENTS when cleaning

the firing mechanism. Solvents are intended only

for removing fouling from the barrel bore and should

be carefully rinsed from all surfaces immediately

after use.

To clean the barrel, use a soft bristle brush that

has been moistened with kerosene. Dry carefully

with flannel patches and oil very, very lightly with

a good gun oil. To remove heavy fouling, brush with

a solvent or special bore cleaner intended for this

purpose BUT BE CAREFUL TO RINSE ALL TRACES

OF THE CLEANING AGENT FROM THE BORE IM-

MEDIATELY AFTER USE. Also be sure to oil the

bore lightly after rinsing.
