Some metal parts of your new Model 9410 have been
coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound.
Before using your Model 9410, clean the anti-rust
compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, shell
feed mechanism and the action/chamber areas. A high
quality, light gun oil should be used to remove this
compound and to give your new gun its first lubrication.
Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as
explained under “Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions”
found later in this manual. First lubrication suggestions
are outlined below.
If your new Model 9410 is for collector’s purposes only, it
is permissible to leave the rust preventative compound in
place and keep your Model 9410 in its box for maximum
protection during long term storage.

• On each side of the vertical locking lug on the top
and bottom.
• Along the breech bolt rail surfaces.
Avoid applying too much oil. Only a light film is
necessary. Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions
should be followed before each oiling.
