25. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The action of the MANNLICHER ULTRA LIGHT, MANNLICHER SCOUT
and STEYR ELITE has been designed to require no maintenance for
prolonged periods.
Never use steel brushes to clean the barrel. The recommended
cleaning material is silk noil or cotton wool which should be
soaked with a special barrel oil or a high quality gun oil for
pre-cleaning or final oiling. Special agents for removing copper
deposits may be used as directed.
Make sure to always clean the barrel from rear to front. Never
draw the silk noil or cotton patch back through the barrel after it
emerges from the muzzle; rather, remove the noil or patch. Make
sure to avoid even the slightest wear or damage to the muzzle
crown. After cleaning, the barrel bore should be oiled lightly.
WARNING:
A rotary bushing inserted between the barrel and the receiver may
be dislodged by improper cleaning, including the use of oversized
patches or oversized cleaning brushes. If the bushing is dislodged,
the bolt cannot be inserted or locked.
Before firing your gun, any residual oil in the barrel should be
removed with a final dry patch. Otherwise the point of impact may
shift.
For the wooden stock, only special stock-oil with silicone is recom-
mended.
