is important to “set” it permanently in place. Do this by
tightening the set screw enough that it leaves a mark on
the side of the hammer. Then remove the extension.
Support the hammer on a firm work bench or padded
anvil and center punch the mark left by the set screw.
The gun and hammer must be well supported during this
operation (see Figure 21).
6. Reinstall the hammer extension in the location deter-
mined previously. If the locking compound has been worn
off of the screw you will want to put a drop of locking
compound (like Loctite
® ) on the threads before inserting.
7. Tighten the set screw, making sure it engages into the
indent made by the center punch.
WARNING: HAMMER EXTENSIONS CAN
LOOSEN WITH USE. OCCASIONALLY CHECK
TO MAKE SURE YOUR HAMMER EXTENSION
IS STILL ON TIGHTLY.

Your Model 9422 will function better and more reliably
over a longer period of time if it is properly maintained
and kept clean.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING PRO-
CEDURES, ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THERE
ARE NO CARTRIDGES IN THE CHAMBER,
MAGAZINE OR ACTION/FEED AREAS.
You should clean your Model 9422 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. Most regular maintenance will also
include cleaning the barrel. If you encounter a function
problem 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, adhere
to the following general guidelines.
C LEANING P ROCEDURES —

To protect the rifling at the muzzle of your rifle from dam-
age (which can affect accuracy) take down your Model
9422 into the barrel/receiver half and the buttstock/lever
half as explained previously.
