and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed. Your gun is a

complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other parts for safe

and accurate operation. Putting a gun together wrong or with modified parts can

result in a damaged gun, or personal injury or death to you or others. Always let

a qualified gunsmith work on your gun or at least, check any work not performed

by a gunsmith. Firearm safety is your primary concern. THE GUN OWNER MUST

ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CORRECT REASSEMBLY AND

FUNCTIONING OF THE FIREARM AFTER ANY DISASSEMBLY OR

REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.

any powder and lead residue in the bore. Always

cotton patch with gun oil to coat and protect the

bore and chambers from rust and corrosion. See

Figure 35.

E) Any powder fouling on the firing wall, barrel, etc. can be easily cleaned with

a brush and powder solvent.

F) All external surfaces should be wiped down with a light coat of rust preventative.

Avoid using too much oil as powder, dust or other foreign material may get

trapped in the oil. This could lead to congealed deposits which may interfere

with the safe and reliable operation of the revolver.

G) USE CAUTION while using solvents in gun bore cleaning. Prolonged or excess

contact with solvents can damage the gun’s bluing and finish. Be sure to
