most solvents are highly flammable. wear eye proteCtion and
praCtiCe appropriate safety measures when working with
solvents to avoid serious injury.
6 After all leading and plastic residues have been removed, run a
clean, dry patch through the bore. Follow this with a final, lightly
oiled patch.
7 Wipe all metal surfaces of the receiver, forearm and barrels with
a clean rag. Then lubricate your gun at the points described in
Step 2 under “Assembly” on page 13. Regular, light lubrication is
extremely important to the durability and reliable operation of
your shotgun.
Remember, the broad, polished, finely fitted surfaces of the
receiver and forearm mechanisms (the barrel lugs, MonoLock
Hinge surfaces ejector cams and locking pin surfaces) must always
have a thin film of lubricant. A heavy oil or grease is recommended
to lubricate the ejector cams on both sides of the barrels, along
with the MonoLock Hinge mating surfaces on both sides of the
receiver (hinged surfaces) to prevent galling. Do not over lubricate
the action.
8 Reassemble the shotgun and wipe all exposed metal surfaces with
an oiled cloth making sure to wipe away all finger marks where
moisture could accumulate.
9 Inspect the barrels and chambers to be certain no patches have
inadvertently been left in them. Remove any that remain.
10 Lightly oil your firearm at the points described under “Periodic
Oiling” on page 37. Regular, light oiling is extremely important to
the durability and reliable operation of your shotgun.
11 The wood surfaces can also be wiped with a quality, lightweight
gun oil or they can be polished with any quality furniture wax
(but not both).
NOTICE! it is very important that the Chambers of your shotgun
be Cleaned thoroughly and promptly after shooting plastiC
shotshells. do not leave disCharged (empty) shells in the
Chambers for any length of time. the ChemiCal Composition of
many plastiC shells Contains moisture whiCh Can “sweat” out
of the shell and onto the Chambers’ surfaCes, and possibly
Cause Corrosion and rust.

The metal parts of a firearm should receive a light film of oil after
the firearm has been exposed to weather or handling.
A heavy oil or grease is recommended to lubricate the ejector cams on
both sides of the barrels, along with the MonoLock Hinge mating
surfaces on both sides of the receiver (hinged surfaces) to prevent
galling. However, any quality gun oil may be used.
If the firearm has been exposed to excessive dust, dirt, mud or water,
the principal working parts should be wiped clean and lubricated with
a light film of quality, lightweight gun oil or grease.
NOTICE! do not plaCe large quantities of oil into the aCtion.
exCess oil will run baCk into the wood of the stoCk softening
the wood, with Consequential loosening of the stoCk.
NOTICE! do not take your firearm’s aCtion apart beyond what
is explained in this owner’s manual. this is a speCialiZed,
finely fitted meChanism; any attempt to disassemble the inner
meChanism may mar it for life. it is unneCessary, and may do
damage to the inner meChanism to disassemble it for routine
Cleaning and oiling. of Course, misfortunes (suCh as dropping
your firearm in water) require appropriate attention, and in
suCh CirCumstanCes we reCommend you immediately take your
firearm to a qualified gunsmith.
