BEFORE LOADING YOUR GUN BE SURE ALL

GREASE AND OIL HAVE BEEN REMOVED

FROM THE BARREL AND CHAMBER, AND

THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS.

INITIAL CLEANING

Some metal parts of your new Model 1300 have been

coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound.

Before using your Model 1300, clean the anti-rust com-

pound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, breech bolt

mechanism and the action/chamber areas. A high quality,

light weight gun oil should be used to remove this com-

pound and to give your new gun its first lubrication.

Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as

explained under “Cleaning and Maintenance

Suggestions” found later in this booklet. First lubrication

suggestions are outlined below.

If your new Model 1300 is to be stored for an extended

period of time, it is permissible to leave the rust preventa-

tive compound in place and keep your Model 1300 in its

box for maximum protection during long-term storage.

OILING THE ACTION

Before beginning assembly of your Model 1300 you should

first wipe the mechanism clean and apply a few drops of

quality oil on the following surfaces

(see Figure 3):

Avoid applying too much oil. Only a light film is neces-

sary. Excessive oil should be wiped off.
