20. Care and maintenance
Your Blaser R 93 LRS represents a wise
investment in an extremely high quality,
finely-crafted firearm. Regular, routine
maintenance procedures will help protect
and preserve that investment for a life-
time of pleasurable, reliable use.
Make sure you periodically clean and
maintain your rifle according to the
instructions in this manual for safe and
reliable performance. Firearms mainten-
ance is your responsibility.
WARNING:
G Before performing any cleaning or
maintenance make sure there are no
cartridges in the chamber or magazine.
G Do not store ammunition with oils or
cleaning chemicals.
G Cleaning firearms, or handling ammu-
nition may result in exposure to lead
and other substances known to cause
birth defects, reproductive harm, and
other serious physical injury. Have ade-
quate ventilation at all times. Wash
hands thoroughly after exposure.
After each use, your Blaser R 93 LRS 2
should be cleaned and re-lubricated
before being returned to its storage
place. Wipe off any visible dirt and grime
from all parts with a clean, soft cloth.
20.1. Barrel and chamber:
After each use, run a swab or bronze
brush of the correct caliber through the
barrel from the breech end to remove
any powder residue. If any evidence of
powder or copper remains, use a quality
grade bore cleaner with a bronze brush.
Then remove the loosened fouling with a
swab or gun bore patches. Finally, apply
a thin film of quality gun oil preservative
throughout the entire bore surfaces.
Coat the entire outer surface of the bar-
rel with a quality gun oil preservative and
wipe off any excess.
Note: Do not over lubricate any parts of
your firearm.
20.2. Bolt and internal metal surfaces:
Use a small nylon bristle brush and soft
clean cloth to thoroughly clean these
areas. Lightly lubricate the bolt and inter-
nal metal surfaces before reassembling
the rifle.
20.3. External metal surfaces:
Lightly lubricate all external metal sur-
faces before reassembling the rifle.
Wipe all external metal surfaces to
remove any moisture or finger marks.
20.4. Stock:
The synthetic stock on your Blaser R 93
LRS 2 rifle requires little or no mainten-
ance. Occasional cleaning with a damp
cloth will restore your stock to like-new
appearance.
ATTENTION:
Make sure you read and adhere to the
instructions and warnings given by the
manufacturer of the cleaning agent.
