When cleaning is necessary, use a solvent that will not rust the metal

(with the loading opening away from you) to remove solvent or residue from
within the magazine.
After cleaning, always check to be certain that rotor movement and tension are
correct, and that no solvent or debris remain. Do not disassemble the magazine.
Improper reassembly...

Firing a rifle with oil, grease, or any other material
even partially obstructing the bore may result in
damage to the rifle and serious injury to the
shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply
lubricants directly on ammunition. If the powder

separate from their ammunition and
inaccessible to children and any...

MAINTENANCE OF STAINLESS STEEL RIFLES
Firearms and components made of stainless steel are relatively more resistant to
corrosion than those of blued steel. However, in the interest of proper operation
and long life of a stainless steel firearm, inspect it frequently and clean, lubricate
and apply an appropriate rust preventative.
Sometimes discoloration occurs from perspiration or from contact with some
types of gun cases. Rusting may occur as a result of the firearm being exposed to
moisture, salt...

3. Position Adapter on receiver and place a base-mounting screw in each hole of
the Adapter. Turn each screw until it just catches the threads in the receiver
hole, but don’t tighten the screws at this point.
4. Starting at the first screw, turn each screw part way in; then move to the next
