WARNING!
Excessive use of cleaning solvents or lubricants can adversely affect
your firearm’s functioning. Wipe the inside of the barrel dry before firing and ensure
it is free of obstructions.
WARNING!
Some cleaning solvents produce hazardous vapors. Read and follow
the solvent manufacturer’s cautions found on the product’s package.
WARNING!
This firearm should be checked periodically for worn or damaged
parts by a competent gunsmith. This will help ensure its safe functioning and a long
service life.
WARNING!
There may be sharp edges on parts of the firearm. Keep fingers
protected, such as by wearing a pair of protective gloves when cleaning.
WARNING!
Handling ammunition and cleaning firearms results in exposure to
lead and other substances that can pose health risks. Wash your hands and face
after firing your rifle, or after cleaning it.
When putting your rifle away for storage, it should be thoroughly cleaned and lightly lubricated.
Outside surfaces should be wiped with a light coat of good quality gun oil. CHECK TO ENSURE
THE RIFLE IS UNLOADED BEFORE STORING IT IN A LOCATION SEPARATE FROM ITS
AMMUNITION. When the rifle is to be re-used, remove all excess lubrication before firing. Make
sure the bore (the interior of the barrel) is dry and free of obstructions before firing. Note: The
use of reloaded, remanufactured, hand-loaded or other non-standard ammunition may
result in damage to the rifle and injury or death to the shooter and/or bystanders. The
manufacturer and importer cannot accept responsibility for malfunctions resulting from
the use of non-standard, defective ammunition.
Storage
To Clean the Barrel
1. Obtain a quality rifle cleaning kit and thoroughly review the instructions accompanying it.
2. Follow the rifle disassembly procedures on page 10 of this manual.
3. To clean the barrel, select the correct caliber cleaning brush and attach it to a cleaning rod.
4. Dampen the brush with gun cleaning solvent. Push the brush through the barrel several times.
5. Remove the brush and attach a correctly sized cloth cleaning patch to the cleaning rod and
push it through the barrel several times, in order to remove loosened fouling.
6. Repeat this process with the brush and cleaning patches, until a final patch comes out clean
after swabbing the bore.
7. Repeat the procedure just followed, in order to clean the bolt and other action parts.
8. Remove shooting residue from the rifle’s exterior by wiping surfaces with a soft cloth dabbed
in solvent. Dry these surfaces.
9. Finally, wipe down all outside surfaces with a soft cloth which has been dipped in a good quality
metal preservative oil.
