18.1. CLEANING PROCEDURES
Your TSR XP will function better and more reliably over a longer period of
time if it is properly maintained and kept clean. Clean your firearm after
every day of shooting, and more often if it becomes excessively dirty. A
minimum cleaning includes wiping down the firearm and oiling key parts.
Regular maintenance will also include cleaning the barrel.
If you encounter a function problem be sure to give your firearm a thorough
cleaning to see if it solves the problem before seeking the services of the
FNH USA Service Facility in Arnold, Missouri, or a qualified gunsmith.
1. Remove the bolt as explained previously.
2. Inspect the chamber and bore for powder fouling. A normal amount of
powder residue can be expected and is not serious. It can usually be
removed with a patch saturated with nitro solvent.
Use a cleaning rod with a tip and patch large enough for a snug fit in
the bore. Insert the rod and patch into the barrel at the breech end and
run it back and forth several times. Care should be exercised to ensure
Notice! ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE TRIGGER WILL

The top of the TSR XP receiver is drilled and tapped for mounting a scope
base. The rifle was shipped from the factory with a MIL-STD 1913-type
machined steel rail for mounting scope rings. If another scope mounting
system is desired, be aware that the TSR XP USA’s action is shorter and will
not accept a standard FNH SPR rifle mount. Winchester

mounts will not fit TSR XP rifles, as the mounting screw holes are a
different size (8-40 thread) and spacing.
Carefully follow the instructions included with your scope and scope rings
when performing any scope installation. Always make sure you have the
proper eye relief. Always make sure that the saddle crossbolts and cap
bolts are fully tightened before using your firearm.
