Detailed Cleaning Techniques [cont]

ENSURE THAT THE FIREARM IS NOT LOADED.

• Use a pull through or cleaning rod with an appropriate size bore brush beginning from the

chamber down to and out of the muzzle. The bore brush will follow the rifling in the barrel. Repeat

as required.

DO NOT change direction while the brush is in the barrel as the brush could become stuck

and/or damaged.

• Apply cleaner/lubricant/preservative to a swab and pass it through the barrel, beginning from the

chamber down to and out the muzzle. Repeat as required.

• Attach the larger chamber wire brush to the cleaning rod and dip brush in cleaning solution. Clean the

chamber by using a minimum of five plunging strokes and three 360º clockwise rotational strokes.

Disassemble the bolt carrier group before cleaning.

retaining pin. Use a pipe cleaner to clean the firing pin channel.
