3. Inspect bore from both ends for leading
by looking through bore toward light.
Leading will appear as dull longitudinal
streaks and is usually more predomin-
ant in the constriction area of the
choke and just forward of the chamber.
4. Leading is minimal with today’s mod-
ern loads. If or when leading should
become heavy, it can be removed with
a brass bore brush. Use a good powder
solvent such as Browning Liquid Gun-
smith and scrub bore until leading is
removed. To prevent brass bristles
from breaking off, the brush should be
pushed completely through bore before
being withdrawn.
5. After leading has been removed, the
bore should be wiped dry and then a
slightly oiled patch run through it for
preservation.
6. If the gun has been exposed to much
dust, dirt, mud or water, the action
and gas system should be stripped
down and cleaned as outlined in this
booklet.
7. Reassemble barrel and wipe all expos-
ed metal surfaces with an oiled cloth
making sure to wipe gun clean of all
finger marks where moisture will ac-
cumulate.
6. The wood surfaces can also be wiped
with Browning Gun Oil or they can be
polished with any quality furniture
wax.
