SOUND SUPPRESSOR MODEL OASIS
Experience indicates that the preferred method of cleaning the suppres-
sor is blowing it out with high pressure compressed air. While soaking in
hydrocarbon-based solvents is acceptable, water-based cleaning agents
must never be used. After use of any solvent, the suppressor should be
thoroughly blown out with high pressure compressed air.
Always read the warning label on any cleaner or solvent, and
remember that virtually all solvents are inherently dangerous
and potentially toxic. Always use adequate ventilation and both
skin and eye protection when using organic solvents.
There is no need whatsoever to disassemble the suppressor for main-
tenance, and any attempt at disassembly will void the warranty.
1. Remove the magazine from the weapon, open the action, and visually
ascertain that the weapon is unloaded with nothing remaining in the
chamber.
2. We suggest that at approximately 500 rounds the firearm be field stripped
and cleaned thoroughly. Refer to the appropriate Ruger manual for proper
procedure of field stripping the weapon.
3. The weapon bore may be cleaned with a brass brush or a pull-through
snake or mop. Patches must not be used, as they will catch in the baffle
stack, requiring factory service to remove.
4. You may use a solvent such as WD-40
type "A" Automatic Transmission Fluid (3:1), Kroil, or Varsol. Never use
a solvent containing ammonia, acids, or other alkali, and do not
use water based cleaning agents. Ultrasonic cleaners can damage
aluminum and do not cavitate without water and should not be used.
Any residual solvent should be drained to the rear and blown out with
compressed air.
Use a mop or brush instead of patches to clean the barrel
with the integral suppressor, as a patch may become lodged
in the baffle stack, necessitating factory removal.
