CLEANING & OILING

First make sure the rifle is unloaded!

Using a cleaning rod, cloth patches and nitro

solvent, wipe out the bore until the patches come

out clean. Always insert the cleaning rod from the

chamber end to prevent wear on the rifling at the

muzzle.

Take particular care to thoroughly clean the

barrel chamber and the face i,e., the front) of the

bolt. Use a bronze bristle bore brush to remove

metal fouling and powder residue from the barrel

chamber. A sharpened stick or an old toothbrush

can be utilized to clean carbon and other debris

from crevasses in the bolt face; especially under the

extractor hook. Cotton swabs are useful to clean

the recesses in the rear the barrel. Wipe out the

bolt raceway inside the receiver.

Pass an oily patch through the clean bore to

protect it until the rifle is to be used again. lubricate

the bolt with a light film of good gun oil. An oily rag

wiped over all external metal surfaces of the rifle will

prevent rust from handling.

Before using the rifle again, pass a dry patch

through the bore to remove all oil and other residue.

look through the bore to be sure it is clear of any

obstruction before loading the rifle.

WARNING!

All firearms require periodic maintenance

and inspection which may reveal a need for

adjustment or repair.

Have your firearm checked by a competent

gunsmith annually even if it seems to be working

well, since breakage, improper functioning,

undue wear, or corrosion of some components

may not be apparent from external examination.

If you notice any mechanical malfunction, do

not continue to use the firearm. Unload the

firearm and take it to a competent gunsmith

immediately. Similarly, if water, sand, or other

foreign matter enters the internal mechanism, the

firearm should be dismantled for complete and

thorough cleaning. Failure to keep your firearm

clean and in proper working order can lead to a

potentially dangerous condition.
