CLEANING YOUR AR15

WARNING:

Before handling ANY firearm, ALWAYS follow the first three rules of gun safety:

1) Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy

2) Keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot

3) Do not load the firearm until you are ready to shoot

*Remove the magazine and ammunition from the firearm and keep them in a separate location during the takedown process

Visually and physically inspect that the firearm is unloaded by looking into the chamber and touching the breach face with your finger or a plastic punch.
