KalaniLaker Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Hi everyone. I picked up a FN SLP tonight but it did not have an owners manual. I checked the FN website and there was not an online manual available. I am going to email them and see if they will ship me one. In the meantime, does anyone have any maintenance tips or methods of lubrication and cleaning? Thank you.

Brian Payne Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Make sure and use the "red" gas piston for the lighter 3-gun loads. My manual said the weapon already had the light piston in but it had the heavy "black" piston in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winchester manual pretty much covers the bases (had an FN SLP). Used Tetra gun grease on bolt/bolt carrier contact points. For brass ring by gas port, occassionally brushed the brass ring near the gas port to remove carbon (used Ballistol). Top part of pistons need to be brushed (Ballistol) used q-tips to get carbon out of the piston ports (some recommend occassionally soaking the pistons in solvent on occassion, but never tried it myself). Best to keep lube on the exterior of the mag tube, where the interior of the piston makes contact, to a minimum (I usually apply a very small amount of Tetra and the wipe it off). Cleaned it after each range trip. Have run over 500 shells, no problem. Brian Payne makes a good point on the pistons.
