open position when the magazine is empty
and in place.
Using a rifle cleaning rod with tip and
patch large enough for snug fit in bore,
insert rod and patch in barrel from the
muzzle end and run back and forth several
times. Caution should be exercised to
insure that the cleaning rod or handle does
not strike the crown of the muzzle, as
damage to this area can adversely affect
the accuracy of the rifle.
Inspect the chamber and bore for powder
fouling. A normal amount of powder
residue can be expected and is not serious.
It can usually be removed by repeating
Step Number 3, using a patch saturated
with nitro
- solvent. If or when fouling
should become heavy, it can be removed
with a brass bore brush. Dip the brush in
nitrosolvent and scrub the chamber and
bore until the fouling is removed. To
prevent brass bristles from breaking off,
the brush should be pushed completely
through the bore before being withdrawn.
After fouling has been removed, the bore
should be wiped dry and then a slightly
oiled patch run through it for preservation.
Browning Gun Oil is recommended.
