In the process of reactivating the need to disassemble the rifle and with a cloth soaked in gasoline, dry thoroughly life factory lubricated internal mechanism and the barrel. After removal of lubricant all parts of the rifle should be wiped dry with a cloth.

This may seem strange, but after removal of the factory lubricants, must again go to the grease! This time should handle all the friction parts of the mechanism of special oil spray, which in the future will contribute to the reduction of wear.
