explained under “Full Disassembly . . . ” on
page 31. Clean with an oil such as Browning
Oil or a gun solvent as necessary, using an old
toothbrush to loosen any caked-on grime.
Wipe the receiver cavity clean. Lightly oil
the cavity (aerosol Browning Oil is ideal)
and wipe it dry. No further disassembly is
required for cleaning.
Reassemble the trigger group, breechblock,
and the barrel to the receiver. Then wipe all
exposed metal surfaces with an oiled cloth
making sure to wipe your A-500 clean of all
finger marks where moisture will accumulate.
The barrel and action should be inspected
to assure that all cleaning patches have
been removed and not inadvertently left in
the barrel or action.
The wood surfaces can also be wiped with
Browning Oil or they can be polished with
any quality furniture wax (but not both).
DO NOT TAKE YOUR GUN’S ACTION APART
BEYOND THE EXTENT EXPLAINED IN THIS
MANUAL. This is a specialized, finely fitted
mechanism, and you may mar it for life by an attempt
to disassemble the inner mechanism assemblies. Do
not disassemble the breechblock and trigger group
more than described. If further disassembly is
required, take your gun to a Browning Recom-
mended Service Center or a competent gunsmith.
