Maintenance

Your Aurora Series shotgun represents a wise investment in an extremely high

quality, finely-crafted shooting companion. Regular, routine maintenance proce-

dures will help protect and preserve that investment for a lifetime of pleasura-

ble, reliable use. Firearms maintenance is your responsibility.

Cleaning and Lubrication

Be sure your gun is unloaded!

After each use, your Aurora Series shotgun should be disassembled, cleaned and

re-lubricated before being returned to its storage place.

Disassemble your shotgun into its three basic parts: buttstock and receiver frame,

barrel assembly and forend assembly; as described in more detail below.

Wipe off any visible dirt and grime from all parts with a clean, soft cloth.

Butt Stock and Receiver Frame:

1. Using only products specifically designed for cleaning firearms, remove all

accumulated dirt and powder residue from the inside of the receiver frame.

Be sure to read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the proper use

of these products and the specific finishes on which they are to be used.

2. When the inside of the frame is clean, lightly coat it with a quality gun oil

preservative, wiping off excess with a clean cloth.

3. Place a thin film of high-pressure gun grease around the internal pivot pins

and on the front, curved frame surfaces that mate with the forend.

4. Coat all metal surfaces with a quality gun oil preservative, wiping off any

excess with a clean cloth.

5. Remove any accumulation of dirt or other debris from the butt stock with a

clean cloth.

Barrel Assembly:

1. After each use, run a swab or bronze brush of the correct gauge through the

barrels from the breach end to remove any powder residue. If any evidence of

powder, lead or plastic remains, use a quality grade bore cleaner with a

bronze brush. Then remove the loosened fouling with a swab or gun bore

patches. Finally, apply a thin film of quality gun oil preservative on the entire

bore surfaces.

Note: Never clean, store or transport your firearm without the choke tubes installed.
