Repeat until the patch comes out clean and free from powder residue. If necessary, pass a bronze
cleaning brush also soaked with oil through the bore. When the barrel is completely clean, dry it
thoroughly and oil by using a clean flannel. This will protect the barrel until the next time you’ll use
the shotgun.
BEARING SURFACE: The bearing surfaces are subject to friction and pressure when opening and
closing the gun and must always be perfectly clean and coated with a light film of oil. Do not apply
too much oil on the action frame so as to avoid making the wood spongy.
EXTERNAL METALLIC SURFACES
Clean the external metallic surfaces of the gun with a lightly oiled cloth and wipe off any trace
of fingerprints. It is also recommended to oil the shotgun lightly each time it is submitted to bad
handling or severe atmospheric conditions.
MECHANISMS
Do not try to reach the firing and ejection mechanism.
WOOD
Apply time to time moderately linseed oil with a non fluffy cloth.
STORAGE
Get into the habit of storing your shotgun out of reach of children.
Your shotgun should be kept in a dry and moderately airy place, away from any strong source of
heat so that the wood will loose any absorbed moisture without distortion or cracking.
REMOVING/INSTALLING CHOKE TUBES (shotgun with interchangeable
chokes)
WARNING: Unload the firearm before changing choke tubes.
1. Place the safety in the “on safe” position and open the action.
2. Place the choke tube wrench into the choke tube.
3. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise to remove the choke tube.
4. Select the desired choke tube and insert the tube into the barrel.
5. Screw it in clockwise until tight. Make certain it is tight using the choke wrench but do not
over tighten. A small amount of lubricate on the treads will ensure the choke tube can be
installed and removed with ease.
6. Check the choke tube periodically to make sure the tube has not loosened.
DO NOT FIRE THIS SHOTGUN WITHOUT HAVING A CHOKE TUBE INSTALLED.
On FABARM over-under shotguns with removable chokes tubes, three chokes systems are totally
interchangeable. (not valid for guns with MULTICHOKES system)
• INNERCHOKES
• IN/OUT CHOKES
• EXIS CHOKES
For shotguns with fixed chokes, the chokes specifications are indicated on the monobloc with the
following marks :
