Before beginning the cleaning process, check to ensure the rifle is

unloaded. (See the Unloading the Rifle section on page 9.)

WARNING! You should wear eye protection, such as shooting glasses or goggles,

when cleaning your firearm to protect your eyes from tensioned parts, such as

springs, that may become dislodged during disassembly.

2. Follow the rifle field stripping procedures. (See page 10.)

3. To clean the barrel, select the correct caliber cleaning brush and attach it to a cleaning rod.

4. Dampen the brush with gun cleaning solvent and then push the brush through the barrel

several times.

5. Remove the brush and attach a correctly sized cloth cleaning patch to the cleaning rod and

push it through the barrel several times to remove loosened fouling.
