CLEANING THE ACTION AND TRIGGER
GROUP —
1. When the action becomes excessively
dirty, remove the trigger group and
breechblock assembly from the receiver
as explained under “Full Disassembly”
on page 28. Clean with an oil such as
Browning Oil or a gun solvent as neces-
sary, using an old toothbrush to loosen
any caked-on grime. Wipe the receiver
cavity clean. Lightly oil the cavity (aero-
sol Browning Oil is ideal) and wipe it
dry. No further disassembly is required
for cleaning.
2. Reassemble the trigger group,
breechblock, gas system and the barrel to
the receiver as explained previously.
Then wipe all exposed metal surfaces
with an oiled cloth making sure to wipe
your A-500G clean of all finger marks
3. The barrel and action should be in-
spected to assure that all cleaning
patches have been removed and not in-
advertently left in the barrel or action.
4. The wood surfaces can also be wiped
with Browning Oil or they can be pol-
ished with any quality furniture wax (but
not both).
