CLEANING PROCEDURES
Your Buck Mark Rifle will function
better and more reliably over a
longer period of time if it is
properly maintained and
kept clean.
Clean your Buck Mark Rifle after
every day of shooting, and more
often if it becomes excessively
dirty. A minimum cleaning includes
wiping down the action and oiling
key parts. Most regular maintenance will also include cleaning the
barrel. If you encounter a function problem be sure to clean your
firearm thoroughly to see if it solves the problem before seeking the
services of a Browning Recommended Service Center or our Service
Facility in Arnold, Missouri, or a qualified gunsmith.
DO NOT PLACE LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL INTO THE ACTION. EXCESS OIL
WILL RUN BACK INTO THE WOOD OF THE GRIPS (IF SO EQUIPPED) AND
SOFTEN THE WOOD, WITH CONSEQUENTIAL LOOSENING OF THE GRIPS.
1 Pull the slide rearward and lock it open with the slide release/stop
latch. Visually inspect the action and chamber to be certain they
are empty.
2 Dip or spray a small, stiff-bristled nylon brush with a quality gun
cleaning solvent and scrub the breech and face of the slide to
remove build up (Figure 9).
MOST SOLVENTS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND
PRACTICE APPROPRIATE SAFETY MEASURES WHEN WORKING WITH
SOLVENTS TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY.
