4 Inspect the barrel and chamber to be certain no patches have
inadvertently been left in them. Remove any that remain.
5 Use a small brush or rag to remove dirt or other foreign matter
from inside the receiver and other parts of the action. Lightly
lubricate all moving parts with a high-quality, light gun oil. Use
oil sparingly, a very light film is sufficient. A fine, light gun oil is
ideally suited for this purpose.
NOTICE! do not Pour large quantities oF oil into the receiver
or other Parts. it can drain down to the wood and soFten it,
causing PerManent daMage and loosening oF the stocK.
6 Wipe all exposed metal surfaces with a lightly oiled cloth making
certain that all finger marks are removed. Finger marks provide a
place where moisture can accumulate. The metal of the gun should
receive a light film of oil any time the rifle has been exposed to
weather or handling.
7 Wood surfaces can also be wiped with a quality, lightweight gun
oil or they can be polished with any quality furniture wax (but
not both).
CLEANING THE MAGAZINE
Frequently inspect magazines to determine the need for cleaning as
lubricant and dirt will gradually collect in the mechanism. Normally,
the magazine should be cleaned after firing 500 to 1,000 cartridges.
NOTICE! do not disasseMble the MagaZine.
1 Clean the magazine by spraying it with a metal and polymer-safe
gun cleaning solvent. Spray the magazine with this solvent, both
inside and out, to loosen debris.
2 Place your finger over the loading port and shake it vigorously
(with the loading port away from you) to remove solvent and
residue from the magazine.
3 Use compressed air to dry the magazine or allow it to air dry.
