Manual
General cleaning procedures are outlined as follows.
Make sure the chambers are unloaded on your firearm. Wear protective
safety glasses during assembly, disassembly and cleaning procedures. Keep
ammunition away from the cleaning area. NEVER test the function of
your firearm with live ammunition.
Remove the barrels and forearm from the receiver according to disassem-
bly instructions provided in this manual.
Use a cleaning rod with a tip and patch suitable for use in firearm bores.
Lightly oil the patch and place it on the tip of the cleaning rod. Insert
the tip of the cleaning rod with the attached patch into the chamber
end of the barrels and push the patch back and forth through both bar-
rels several times. Inspect the bores from both ends of the barrels for
residue caused by leading and plastic shot cups. This residue will form
streaks that run parallel to the inside of the bore. Slight residue streaks
are common place and will not affect the performance of your firearm.
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 firearm 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, and barrel
lugs and the forearm brackets.
