First of all, this Kolser replica maintenance guide will help you clean your reproductions.
In fact, Kolser replicas require minimal maintenance, since they only come into contact with
a small amount of powder when used with primers. However, these tips will help prolong the life of the mechanism and the overall appearance of your replica Kolser. You can do this as often as you like, or whenever you feel it's necessary.
Note: Lubricate your weapon with SAE 30 or Ballistol Universal Oil.
Please note: Disassembling the internal mechanism of a replica can cause damage to moving parts, and is therefore not recommended.
Warning: Never shoot empty (without dummy bullets or primers), as this may cause the mechanism to jam. Please note that no returns or exchanges will be made in this case.
