A normal amount of leading can be
expected with today’s high velocity loads
and improved wads but this is not serious.
If or when leading should become heavy, it
can be removed with a brass bore brush.
Make sure a choke tube is installed. Spray
the bore or the bore brush with a good
powder solvent, and scrub the bore until
leading is removed. To prevent brass
bristles from breaking off, the brush should
be pushed completely through the bore
before being withdrawn.
After leading has been removed, the bore
should be wiped dry with a clean patch,
and then a lightly oiled patch run through
it for preservation.
If the gun has been exposed to much dust,
dirt, mud or water, the principal working
parts should be wiped clean and lubricated
with a light film of oil. Browning Oil is
recommended.
Remove the forearm buffer and recoil
spring. Wipe the magazine tube clean of
all dirt and grit. Lightly oil and wipe dry.
When the action becomes excessively
dirty, remove the trigger group and
breechblock assembly from the receiver as
