11 Care
11.1 General
Proper functioning and precision of the gun can
only be maintained through regular and expert
care. The gun must be cleaned and protected
against corrosion after each use. The bore must
be cleaned and protected against corrosion after
each firing. Wooden stocks must be treated with a
suitable agent in accordance the corresponding
instructions and must be protected against the
weather.
For the optimum care for your SAUER 202 Take
Down
we recommend SAUER care products, e.g. the
SAUER Premium gun grease.
For a normal cleaning it is sufficient to remove/
dismantle the following gun parts:
• Magazine
• Bolt
• Rifle sling
If the gun has been exposed to extreme moisture
or is heavily soiled, it is recommended to remove
or dimantle the following gun components:
• Rifle sling
• Telescopic sights
• Magazine
• Front stock
• Barrel
11.2 Cleaning the barrel
Procedure:
1. Unload the gun (see section 5.6).
2. Remove the bolt (see section 5.7.2).
3. Instead of the bolt insert a cleaning aid
("False lock“) for the exact centred guidance
of the cleaning rod.
4. Clean the bore and barrel chamber from the
back using suitable fluids or grease (observe
the respective instructions for use) and a
suitable, calibre matched, bronze or plastic
cleaning brush.
5. Check whether deposits of the rounds have
collected in the sections. If necessary, clean
the barrel with a commercial grade barrel
cleaning agent (observe the respective
instructions for use) designed for firing residue.

warnings before using solvents or cleansers.
