Why care matters for safety
A firearm that is dirty, rusted, over-oiled or obstructed can fail to fire, fire unexpectedly or burst. Both courses test the routine that keeps a firearm safe and reliable, and the first step is always the same.
Before servicing - always
PROVE the firearm unloaded and remove all ammunition from the work area. This is mandatory before any cleaning, inspection or repair.
