Browning offers a complete line of products to make cleaning the
bore of your firearm fast and easy. Be sure to follow all instructions
when using any product to clean your firearm.
4 To maintain the utmost accuracy of your rifle it is recommended
you clean the bore with a copper solvent. Modern bullet jackets
are made mainly of copper and zinc. Residues from copper and
zinc stick to the barrel and require more frequent cleaning.
Swab the bore of your rifle with a good copper solvent using the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
5 After fouling has been removed, the bore should be wiped dry.
Then, pass a slightly oiled patch through the bore for preservation.
A fine, light gun oil like Browning oil is recommended. Make sure
there are no obstructions, cleaning patches, or other obstacles left
in the bore.
6 Wipe all exposed metal surfaces with an oiled cloth, making sure
to wipe the gun clean of all finger marks. Finger marks should be
removed because they provide a place where moisture can
accumulate. Ordinary good judgement will, of course, indicate that
the metal of the gun should receive a light film of oil any time the
gun has been exposed to adverse weather or handling.
7 The wood surfaces of your rifle can also be wiped lightly with
Browning oil, or you can apply a quality wood or furniture polish
to the stock and forearm. Using one of these methods (not both)
will enhance the beauty and durability of your rifle.
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE LUBRICANT. USING TOO MUCH LUBRICANT CAN
INTERFERE WITH THE FUNCTIONING OF YOUR RIFLE.
