Manual

service or cleaning is required, take your firearm to a
Winchester Firearms recommended Authorized Repair
Center or a qualified gunsmith as explained under
“Parts, Service, Repair and Questions” on page 37.
OTHER CLEANING SUGGESTIONS —
• Never pour large quantities of oil into the receiver or
other parts. It can drain down to the wood and soften
it, causing permanent damage and loosening of
the stock.
• After extended periods of heavy use, your shotgun
should be taken to a qualified gunsmith to have
the action disassembled for professional cleaning
and lubrication.
CLEANING PARTS WITH SPECIAL FINISHES —
Be especially careful when cleaning firearms with
camouflage, Dura-Touch
®
Armor Coating and other
special finishes. Always prevent these surfaces from
coming in contact with cleaning solvents, barrel scrubbers
and other strong chemicals. It is preferable to clean these
surfaces with a light gun oil containing no solvents or
with a damp cloth and mild dish soap (be sure to keep
water out of the action). When cleaning your firearm’s
bore and action, protect the external finishes from any
contact with chemicals used. Also, avoid any contact
between external finishes and other strong chemicals
like those found in DEET-containing insect repellents,
sunscreens, etc. Damage to camouflage, Dura-Touch
and other finishes caused by chemicals is irreversible
and unrepairable.
