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.
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 TRIGGER GROUP
The trigger mechanism has been adjusted at the factory to provide a
short, crisp pull consistent with safety and reliability. The trigger is a
single-stage design with the weight of pull holding closely to four
pounds. It is recommended that no attempt be made to change the
weight of pull of the trigger.
This procedure should rarely, if ever, need to be performed. However,
if the receiver area of your rifle should become excessively dirty or
submerged in water it may be helpful to remove the trigger group and
expose the inner cavity of the receiver for cleaning.
