INITIAL CLEANING

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE CLEANING

YOUR FIREARM.

CLEANING PARTS WITH SPECIAL FINISHES

Be especially careful when cleaning guns with camouflage,

Dura-Touch

Armor Coating and other special finishes. Always

prevent these surfaces from coming in contact with cleaning solvents,

barrel scrubbers and other strong chemicals. It is preferable to clean

these surfaces with a light gun oil containing no solvents, or with a

damp cloth and mild dish soap (be sure to keep water out of the

action). 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.

CLEANING

Various exposed metal parts of your new rifle have been coated at the

factory with a rust preventative compound. Before using your rifle,

clean the anti-rust compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver

and the action/chamber areas. Browning oil is ideal for removing this

compound, and for giving your new firearm its first lubrication.

However, any quality gun oil may be used. Clean the barrel using

a cleaning rod and patch as explained under “Cleaning and

Maintenance Suggestions” on pages 25-28. If your BLR rifle is to

be stored, it is acceptable to leave the rust preventative compound

on the rifle and keep it in its original packaging.
