The Model 9410 will function better and more reliably
over a longer period of time if it is properly maintained
and kept clean.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING
PROCEDURES, ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN
THERE ARE NO SHELLS IN THE CHAMBER,
MAGAZINE OR ACTION/FEED AREAS.
You should clean your Model 9410 after every day of
shooting and more often if it becomes excessively dirty.
A minimum cleaning includes wiping down the action
and oiling key parts. Regular maintenance will also
include cleaning the barrel. If you encounter a function
problem (tight action when working the finger lever), be
sure to give your gun a thorough cleaning to see if it
solves the problem before seeking the services of one of
our Authorized Repair Centers, our service facility or a
competent gunsmith.
To clean your firearm, follow the general outline that follows:

bore diameter of your gun. Make sure the patch is large
enough for a snug fit in the bore.
Insert the rod and patch into the barrel at the muzzle
end and run it back and forth several times. Use a crown
protector if possible. Be careful not to strike the crown
of the muzzle with the handle end of the rod. Damage to
this area can affect the accuracy of your gun.
2. Inspect the chamber and bore for brass, copper and
powder fouling. A normal amount of powder residue can
be expected and is not serious. It can usually be removed
by repeating step one, using a patch saturated with solvent.
If, or when, fouling should become heavy, it can be
removed with a brass bore brush. Dip or spray the brush
with solvent and scrub the chamber and bore until the
fouling is removed. To prevent brass bristles from
