POINTS TO BE ATTENDED TO BEFORE FIRING.
1. Cock gun.
2. Pass cleaning rod down the bore to make sure that barrel is clear.
3. See that regulators of all available barrels are properly set.
4. Oil mechanism. A moderate quantity of oil will suffice. It is useless to flood the mechanism. As the essential parts are sufficiently accessible through the ejection slot and by opening the feed piece cover, dismounting is not necessary.
5. Test action of both ejector and cartridge stop by pushing on their points. They should work freely, their springs being elastic but without stiffness.
6. Test action of mechanism by rapidly opening and closing breech several times. It should work freely and smoothly.
