26.2. REINSTALLING THE MAGAZINE SPRING
1. Install the follower in the magazine, closed end towards the receiver.
2. Insert the magazine spring into the magazine. Place the magazine
retainer over the end of the magazine and use it to force the magazine
spring into the magazine until the base of the magazine retainer is
level with the end of the magazine.
3. Replace the magazine spring retainer. Make sure the magazine spring
retainer tab is locked in place in the slot in the magazine tube.
4. Reinstall the barrel, forearm, magazine sleeve and magazine cap.
27. CLEANING THE INVECTOR
™
CHOKE TUBE SYSTEM
1. Never use a bronze brush to clean your barrels unless choke tubes are
installed. Bristles could break off and lodge in the threads, making
installation and removal of the choke tubes difficult.
2. Regularly remove the choke tubes to clean and oil the threads inside
the barrel, as well as on the choke tube itself. This will protect the
threads from being damaged and also prevent a dirt build-up that
would cause the choke tube to become difficult to remove. Clean the
threads with solvent and a small, soft brush like a toothbrush. Wipe
3. The barrel and action should be inspected thoroughly to be certain no
cleaning patches have been inadvertently left in them.
