Maintenance
Avoid the use of oil during below freezing
conditions. A dry graphite used sparingly is
recommended for cold weather lubrication.
Condensation droplets may form soon after
the rifle is brought into a warm room or the
rifle may become wet during inclement
weather. In any case, all moisture should be
removed from the affected areas. Exterior
metal finishes may be wiped down with a
slightly oiled cloth. For long term storage,
lightly oil bore, barrel and action with gun
oil. Your rifle should be completely unloaded
and stored in a dry area.
