VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT —
Adjustment of the sight is controlled by the
screw located on top of the sight, To RAISE the
point of impact, turn the screw in a counter-
clockwise direction. To LOWER the point of im-
pact, turn the screw in a clockwise direction.
Vertical adjustment is also a process of trial and
error.
Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions
PERIODIC OILING —
Ordinary good judgment will indicate that the
metal parts of the gun should receive a light
film of oil after the gun has been exposed to
weather or handling.
Occasionally, a small drop of oil may be placed
on each receiver track in which the breech bolt
and barrel extension guides run during opera-
tion (See Figure 16). This will help to relieve
friction and insure smooth operation.
DO NOT POUR LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL
INTO THE ACTION. A LARGE EXCESS OF OIL
WILL RUN BACK INTO THE WOOD OF THE
STOCK AND CAUSE SOFTENING OF THE
WOOD, WITH CONSEQUENTIAL LOOSENING
OF THE STOCK.
CLEANING YOUR AUTO-5
The correct procedure for cleaning your Auto-5
shotgun is as follows:
BE CERTAIN YOUR SHOTGUN’S MAGAZINE,
FEED MECHANISM AND CHAMBER ARE
UNLOADED. PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE “ON
SAFE” POSITION AND LOCK THE BOLT TO THE
REAR. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE SAFETY
GLASSES DURING ALL DISASSEMBLY AND
CLEANING PROCEDURES.
1 Remove the barrel so that it can be cleaned
from the breech end.
2
Using a shotgun cleaning rod with tip and
patch large enough for a snug fit in the bore,
insert the rod and patch in the breech end of
the barrel and run back and forth through the
the bore several times. Remove and wipe the
Invector tube, tube threads and barrel
threads, and lightly oil.
3 Inspect the bore from both ends for leading
by looking through the bore toward light.
Leading will appear as dull longitudinal
streaks and is usually more predominate near
the muzzle and just forward of the chamber.
4 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 lead-
ing 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bore before being withdrawn.
