I NITIAL C LEANING / O ILING
Some metal parts of your new Supreme have been coated
at the factory with a rust preventative compound. Before
using your Supreme, clean the anti-rust compound from
the inside of the barrels, receiver area, locking pin mecha-
nism, extractors/ejectors, hinge surfaces and the chamber
areas. A high quality, lightweight gun oil should be used
to remove this compound and to give your new gun its
first lubrication. Clean the barrels using a cleaning rod
and patch as explained under “Cleaning and Maintenance
Suggestions” found later in this manual.
If your new Supreme is to be stored for an extended period
of time, it is permissible to leave the rust preventative
compound in place and keep your Supreme in its box for
maximum protection during long-term storage.
Before beginning assembly of your Supreme you should
first wipe the mechanism clean and apply a few drops of
quality oil on the surfaces shown (see Figure 3).
Avoid applying too much oil. Only a light film is
Be sure you lightly oil your
Supreme at these points.
