adequate tension so that each cartridge is quickly raised to the feeding position. The
magazine lips should be clean and free of cracks, dents, or nicks so that cartridges are
held in their proper feeding position.
If the magazine becomes dirty, it should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. The
following disassembly instructions apply:
Snap-On Base - Use a punch to press in on the magazine spring seat where it protrudes
into the hole in the magazine floor plate. Slide the magazine floor plate toward the front
of the magazine, taking care to prevent the forcible ejection of the magazine spring seat
and compressed magazine spring. Withdraw the magazine spring seat and magazine spring
from the magazine body. Turn magazine upside down and remove magazine follower.
Reassemble in reverse order.
When cleaning is necessary, use a solvent that will not rust the metal components or
adversely affect the magazine body. After the magazine has been soaked to loosen foreign
matter, be certain to shake it vigorously (with the loading opening away from you) to
remove solvent or residue from within the magazine. Penetrating oils and solvents inside
a magazine can kill or weaken cartridge primers or powder, which can result in failures
to fire or other possibly dangerous malfunctions such as leaving a bullet in the bore!
After cleaning, always check to be certain that the magazine follower movement and
tension are correct, and that no solvent or debris remain. Improper reassembly of the
magazine spring can cause failure to feed, which is a potentially dangerous malfunction.
If cleaning does not restore proper tension, or if you experience a problem with the maga-
zine, dont use it. Get a different one and try again.
CARE AND CLEANING
Make Sure Gun Is Unloaded!
BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN THE PISTOL AND ITS MAGAZINE CONTAIN NO CARTRIDGES.
Your pistol is a precision instrument and to insure reliable function it is necessary to
follow a routine maintenance procedure. After firing your pistol, be sure to unload it
following the procedure outlined in the section entitled Unloading before any cleaning
or maintenance procedure. Your pistol should be cleaned by brushing the barrel bore
and chamber with a good powder-removing solvent and bore brush. Wipe the areas clean
with patches or a swab. Using a small brush dipped in solvent, remove all deposits from
around the breech of the barrel, chamber, extractor and adjacent areas which have been
subjected to the action of powder or primer residue. Remove any residue on the receiver
and upper receiver with light brushing and a solvent. After cleaning the entire gun, use
cloth to apply a light coating of high quality gun oil to all external surfaces and wipe clean.
Also please make sure that you apply a few drops of oil to the trigger and hammer mecha-
nisms.
For a more detailed cleaning, the pistol should be disassembled as described in the
section TO DISASSEMBLE.
