INITIAL CLEANING
NOTICE! pleAse tAke note of the following informAtion before
cleAning your fireArm.
CLEANING PARTS WITH SPECIAL FINISHES
Be especially careful when cleaning firearms with camouflage,
Dura-Touch
®
Armor Coating and other special finishes. Always
prevent these surfaces from coming in contact with cleaning solvents,
barrel scrubbers and other strong chemicals. It is preferable to clean
these surfaces with a lightweight gun oil containing no solvents, or
with a damp cloth and mild dish soap (be sure to keep water out of
the action). When cleaning your firearm’s bore and action, protect the
external finishes from any contact with chemicals used. Also, avoid
any contact between external finishes and other strong chemicals like
those found in DEET-containing insect repellents, sunscreens, etc.
Damage to camouflage, Dura-Touch and other finishes caused by
chemicals is irreversible and not repairable.
CLEANING
Various exposed metal parts of
your new firearm have been
coated at the factory with a rust
preventative compound. Before
assembling your shotgun, clean
the anti-rust compound from the
inside of the barrel, receiver and
the action/chamber areas. A high-
quality lightweight gun oil is ideal
for removing this compound, and
for giving your new firearm its first
lubrication. Place a drop of lightweight gun oil on both sides of the
inside of the receiver on the rails on which the bolt slides (Figure 3).
Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as explained under
“Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions” on page 35.
