11 Care
11.1 General
The 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 we
recommend SAUER care products, e.g. the
SAUER Premium gun grease.
For a normal cleaning it is sufficient to remove or
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:
• Bolt
• Magazine
• Telescopic sights
• Rifle sling
• Main stock
• Front stock
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, caliber matched, bronze or plastic
cleaning brush.
WARNING!

May lead to death or severe injuries
• There must be no magazine in the gun.
• Before stripping your gun for cleaning, ensure
once again that it is unloaded
(see section 5.6).
CAUTION!
Gun may be damaged
• Never clean barrel from the front end and do
not use a steel or brass wire brush as it can
destroy the smooth surface of the barrel. Use
a suitable cleaning rod and a brush of
matching caliber.
• Detergents can damage the surface of the
gun. Read the manufacturer's indications and
warnings before using solvents or cleansers.
