streaks that run parallel to the inside of the bore. Slight residue streaks
are common place and will not affect the performance of your shotgun.
If lead or plastic residue appears to be excessive it can be removed by
brushing the bores with a brass brush attached to the cleaning rod.
First apply gunpowder solvent to the brush end of the cleaning brush.
Insert the cleaning rod into the chamber end of the bores. Push the
brush completely through the shotgun bore before pulling it backwards
to avoid breaking the bristles on the brush. Continue this scrubbing
action until the bores are clean.
When all fouling and residue is removed, push a clean dry patch through
both bores with the cleaning rod to remove any remaining debris or sol-
vent. When the bores are free of all solvent and debris, insert a lightly
oiled patch and lubricate the bores.
Wipe the metal surfaces of the barrels, forearms and receiver with a
clean rag. Lightly oil the metal parts on the receiver hinge, barrel lugs
and the forearm brackets.
