Cleaning the Barrel Bore and the Cartridge Chamber
If the firearm has not been fired or if only a few cartridges have been fired, clean the barrel bore and cartridge chamber by a clean
patch attached to a cleaning rod. Repeat the cleaning, changing patches, until the last patch comes out clean.
When the barrel bore is very dirty, apply a gun cleaning solution using cleaning brush. Let the solvent act for about 10 minutes (this
time may vary depending on the solvent agent being used). Then thoroughly scrub out the barrel bore. Subsequently, dry the barrel bore
and cartridge chamber with a clean patch and check that all powder residues or fouling have been removed. If necessary, repeat this
procedure.
The cleaning rod and the brush must be inserted into the barrel bore from the chamber, to prevent wear or damage to the muzzle.
Pass the brush all the way through the barrel bore before reversing the movement. If you try to change directions with the brush in the
barrel, the brush could stick.
Cleaning of Other Rifle Parts
Other parts of the rifle can be cleaned with a dry cloth, old toothbrush, copper bristle brush, or a wooden scraper. Preserving oil or
paraffin oil can be used for proper cleaning. Never use the agent designed for barrel bore cleaning! These solutions could remain in the
joints, and after some time could cause corrosion. Check that cloth particles or brush bristles have not become lodged in any part of the
rifle. The maintenance of the stock can be carried out with a dry cloth or by some furniture-polishing product.
