2. Fill a pan with very hot, soapy water. Submerge the breech of the barrel

in the water and push a wet patch down the barrel on the end of your cleaning

rod. Pump the rod and patch up and down in the barrel. This will draw water

into the barrel and flush it out through the nipple hole. Clean the inside of the

receiver, being careful to remove all powder residue which may have built up on

the interior surfaces. When the barrel is clean, wipe off the excess water and set

the barrel aside to dry (it is advisable to remove your scope before submerging

the breech area of the barrel in any water to avoid damage to the scope).

3. Thoroughly wipe all the powder residue from the striker. You may want

to submerge the striker in hot soapy water when scrubbing it. Dry the parts

thoroughly. After cleaning your ThunderHawk rifle, it is recommended that

you lightly lubricate the striker upon reassembly.

The striker and inside of the receiver must be thoroughly cleaned and

lightly oiled to ensure reliable and safe operation. Corrosion and rust that

result from improper cleaning, or lack of cleaning, could alter the proper

functioning of the striker mechanism. This could lead to a condition

whereby the gun will not operate correctly. AN ACCIDENTAL DIS-

CHARGE MAY OCCUR RESULTING IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO

THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

Do not use heavy grease or oil, as during cold weather, excessive lubricant

may congeal and slow the striker fall (or keep the striker from hitting the cap at

all) when the trigger is pulled. This condition may cause the rifle’s striker han-

dle to appear to be in the “Fire” position when in reality the striker has already

moved forward, past the engagement sear. If this condition happens, the gun

may go off when the lubricant is softened by heat from a vehicle or building.

Make certain that the striker is in the “Safety” position and the firearm is

unprimed before attempting to clear any lubricant or debris from the

receiver of your ThunderHawk. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARN-

ING MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER

OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

4. Now that the barrel is completely dry, lightly lube the bore with a qual-

ity lubricant or, in keeping with the all-natural method, T/C's Natural Lube

1000 Plus Bore Butter. Reinstall the nipple being careful not to cross-thread

or over-tighten it.

5. Fouling on the stock, r

eceiver and exterior par

ts should be wiped of

with an oily cloth or T/C’

s Wonder Cloth saturated with Natural Lube 1000

Plus Bor

e Butter

6. Your ThunderHawk may now be reassembled in the reverse order of the

takedown procedure detailed on page 9 and 38.
