When cleaning your firearm’s bore and action, protect the external
finishes from any contact with chemicals used. Also, avoid any contact
between external finishes and other strong chemicals like those found
in DEET-containing insect repellents, sunscreens, etc. Damage to
camouflage, Dura-Touch and other finishes caused by chemicals is
irreversible and not repairable.
BEFORE PERFORMING CLEANING PROCEDURES, PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN
THE ON SAFE POSITION. OPEN THE ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR
RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DISASSEMBLING AND CLEANING YOUR
RIFLE TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF SPRINGS, SPRING-TENSIONED
PARTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES,
RESULTING IN INJURY.
KEEP ALL AMMUNITION AWAY FROM THE CLEANING AREA. NEVER TEST
THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF YOUR RIFLE WITH LIVE AMMUNITION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
Your firearm will function better and more reliably over a longer
period of time if it is properly maintained and kept clean. Clean your
firearm after every day of shooting, and more often if it becomes
excessively dirty. A minimum cleaning includes wiping down the
firearm and oiling key parts. Regular maintenance will also include
cleaning the barrel.
