Whether using the thread protector, muzzle brake or suppressor,
be aware that your firearm’s point of impact may change as the
harmonics of the barrel are affected when changing the weight at
the end of the barrel.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS
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.
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
