CARE, CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
WARNING !
Before cleaning or lubricating the firearm make sure it is unloaded and the safety 'ON'.
Disassemble, clean and lubricate the firearm when grease, dirt or powder fouling accumulates in the
barrel and action. To avoid rust and corrosion, clean and lubricate after each use.
Materials and equipment necessary for cleaning and lubrication;
• Cleaning rod
• Cotton bore patches
• Brass bore brush
• Powder solvent
• Small soft brush
• Good quality gun oil
• After use, to remove any powder and lead residue in the bore, scrub the barrel and chamber using
the bore brush with powder solvent. Then swab the bore and the chamber with gun oiled cotton
patches to protect from rust and corrosion.
• After a high number of shots (about 500 shots), disassemble the bolt assembly and clean it with a
soft brush and gun oil. Then dry it carefully with a soft cloth and oil the parts lightly.
• Clean the outside of the magazine tube with a gun oiled soft cloth and then dry it with a soft cloth
and oil the parts lightly.
• Any powder on the chamber, barrel, etc. can be cleaned with a brush and powder solvent.
• All external surfaces should be wiped down with light coat of rust preventative.
• Avoid using too much solvent for bore cleaning, since prolonged contact may damage the finish of
the gun. Make sure to wipe away all the excess solvent and lubricant.
