_________
PRESERVATION
OF ARMS IN SERVICE.
THE
officers,
non-commissioned officers and soldiers should be instructed
and practiced in the nomenclature of the arms, the manner of
dismounting and mounting them, and the precautions and care
required for their preservation.
Each
soldier should have a screw-driver and a wiper, and a
tumbler-punch, and a spring-vice.
No other implements should be used in taking arms
apart or setting them up.
In
the inspection of arms, officers should attend to the
qualities essential to service, rather than to a bright
polish on the exterior of the arms.
The arms should be inspected in the quarters at least
once a month, with the barrel and lock separated from the
stock.
