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.
