Manual

Firing a rifle with oil, grease, or any other material
even partially obstructing the bore may result in
damage to the rifle and serious injury to the shoot-
er and those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubri-
cants directly on ammunition. If the powder of a
cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may not be
ignited, but the primer firing may push the bullet
into the bore where it may be lodged. Firing a sub-
sequent bullet into the obstructed bore may dam-
age the rifle and cause serious injury or death to
the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants prop-
erly. You are responsible for the proper care and
maintenance of your firearms.

2. Using a cleaning rod, run a solvent-wetted patch through the bore several
times. Then attach a solvent-wetted bristle brush to the rod and run it back
and forth the full length of the bore as many times as necessary to remove
grease and dirt from the bore and chamber. Clean bore with dry patches and
examine. Bore fouling can contribute to reduced accuracy, and grease accu-
mulation in the chamber can interfere with proper feeding of cartridges from
the magazine.
3. Using powder solvent on a clean patch or bristle brush, remove powder
residue from all components of the mechanism. After cleaning, run a dry
patch through the bore, then follow with a patch that is very lightly oiled.
Wipe all surfaces clean with cloth, then wipe all surfaces with a patch or cloth
that has been very lightly oiled.
4. NOTE: Only a light application of oil is needed to provide adequate lubrication
of moving parts and to prevent rust. Excess accumulations of oil tend to
attract particles of dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather which can
interfere with the safe and reliable functioning of the rifle.
5. Do not store the rifle in a leather case or scabbard. Leather attracts moisture,
even though it may appear to be dry.
