Cleaning, maintenance, care,
lubrication
Even after considerable use, your
ANSCHÜTZ small bore match rifle will not
require much attention - a tribute to its so-
lid design, first class materials, well proven
ANSCHÜTZ workmanship and precision.
If you follow the recommendations below,
you will help maintain the excellent
performance of your rifle for a long time.
Regular care after every shooting:
•Please only use resin and acid free oils.
•Remove any residues from the barrel.
Clean with a lint-free cloth or pull cleaning
cords several times through the barrel
from chamber to muzzle to remove deposits.
Subsequently pull a slightly oiled, lint-free
cloth or cleaning cords through the barrel
to avoid corrosion.
Dry firing device
The length of the spring-supported firing
pin is adjusted so that it definitely ignites
the cartridges. If there is no cartridge or
cartridge case in the chamber, the firing
pin as well as the rim of the chamber may
be damaged when dryfiring for a longer
period. In order to prevent any possible
damage use either a cartridge case (after
about 5 practice shots insert a different
case) or preferably the training firing pin
1807T-12. With this device you can
practice under competition conditions
without having to use ammunition.
The procedure for changing the firing pin
is described in the chapter „To disassemble
and reassemble the bolt“.
Do not forget to exchange the training
firing pin for the original one for live firing.
•Clean the bolt with a slightly oiled cloth.
•Make sure that the metal parts of your
rifle are protected against corrosion by
a slight oil film.
•Remove the oil film with a dry cloth or
cleaning cords before you shoot again.
Careful cleaning:
New rifles up to 10,000 shots in 1,000
shot intervals, subsequently in 5,000 shot
intervals at least.
•Use oil to clean the barrel and push a
brass brush from the chamber to the
muzzle. Never move the brush back and
forth in the barrel. Only clean in shooting
direction. Remove the brush outside of the
muzzle and carefully pull the rod back
through the barrel.
•Then pull cleaning cords in dry condition
through the barrel until the last one shows
no considerable dirt.
•Before shooting the next time fire 5 shots to
get back to the former shooting performance.
• Clean external parts with a slightly oiled cloth.
Maintenance of the trigger:
•Lubricate the bearings slightly with cold
resistant molybdenum disulphide grease
once a year.
•Spot a small amount of oil into the
bearing parts using a needle.
•The internal parts should not be washed
with spray or oil to avoid resin or other
residues in the trigger.
Attention:
When cleaning the rifle no dirt, residues of
solvents, grease or non-suitable oils must
get into the trigger mechanism. We there-
