PERIODIC OILING - Ordinary good judgment will indicate that the metal parts of a gun should receive a light film of oil after the gun has been exposed to weather or handling. Occasionally a small drop of light gun oil may be placed on the piston rod where it slides into the receiver (See Figure 19). This will help to relieve friction and insure smooth operation. If the gun has been exposed to a lot of dust, dirt, mud or water, the principal working parts including the gas system, should be wiped clean and lubricated with a light film of oil.

Remove and wipe the Invector tube, threads and barrel threads with a brass or nylon brush, and lightly oil. 4 Inspect the bore from both ends for leading by looking through the bore toward light. Leading will appear as dull longitudinal streaks and is usually more predominate near the muzzle and just forward of the chamber. 5 A normal amount of leading can be expected with today's high velocity loads and improved wads but this is not serious. If or when leading should become heavy, it can be removed with a brass bore brush. Make sure a choke tube is installed.
