WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN ASSEMBLING AND
DISASSEMBLING YOUR RIFLE TO PREVENT SPRINGS,
SPRING-LOADED PARTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER
AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING
IN INJURY.
Various exposed metal parts of your new firearm have
been coated at the factory with a rust preventative
compound. Before firing your rifle, clean the anti-rust
compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver and
the action-chamber areas. A fine, light gun oil is ideal
for removing this compound and for giving your new
firearm its first lubrication. However, any quality
firearm oil may be used. Clean the barrel using a
cleaning rod and patch as explained under “Cleaning
and Maintenance Suggestions” on page 36. If your
rifle is to be stored, it is acceptable to leave the rust
preventative compound on the rifle and keep it in its
original packaging.
Before beginning the first firing of your Model 1892
you should first wipe the mechanism completely
clean. Clean the bore and apply a few drops of quality
oil on the following surfaces (Figure 5, page 14):
