CLEANING THE BORE

Bore solvent such as Shooters Choice

or Hoppe’s Bench Rest

(not regular) is recommended when cleaning your

M1A bore. Place rifle with sights down and run wet patch through the bore. Let soak for 20 to 30 minutes then run

dry patches through bore until patch comes out clean. Use bronze bore brush sparingly to help loosen particles.

NOTE: Put solvent on brush - not brush in solvent! Clean brush thoroughly afterward with gun scrubber, lighter

fluid, etc. Good solvent will attack the brush.

CLEANING THE

CHAMBER

The chamber should be cleaned periodically with the

chamber cleaning brush. The following procedure is

used with the rifle ASSEMBLED and the magazine

removed and the safety on. Screw the threaded end of the cleaning rod section

into the ratchet base of the brush [see figure 6a]. Pull the operating rod handle

rearward and engage the bolt lock to hold the bolt back. Apply a light coating of

bore cleaner in the chamber. Insert brush into chamber. Pull the operating rod

handle rearward to release the bolt lock and slowly allow the bolt to move forward

to push the brush into the chamber. Move the rod section up and down several

times to scrub chamber interior [see figure 6b]. Lock the bolt to the rear. Grasp

the brush handle next to the receiver and remove the brush from the chamber. Use

a clean patch to wipe the chamber. Repeat with clean patches until patches come

out clean. Do not oil chamber as chamber was designed to operate dr
