Cleaning, maintenancce, care,
lubrication
Even after considerable use, your
ANSCHÜTZ small bore match rifle will not
require much attention - a tribute to its so-
lid design, first class materials, well proven
ANSCHÜTZ workmanship and precision.
If you follow the recommendations below,
you will help maintain the excellent
performance of your rifle for a long time.
Regular care after every shooting:
•Please only use resin and acid free oils.
•Remove any residues from the barrel.
Clean with a lint-free cloth or pull
cleaning cords several times through the
barrel from chamber to muzzle to remove
deposits. Subsequently pull a slightly
oiled, lint-free cloth or cleaning cords
through the barrel to avoid corrosion.
•Clean the bolt with a slightly oiled cloth.
•Make sure that the metal parts of your
rifle are protected against corrosion by
a slight oil film.
•Remove the oil film with a dry cloth or
cleaning cords before you shoot again.
Careful cleaning:
New rifles up to 10,000 shots in 1,000
shot intervals, subsequently in 5,000 shot
intervals at least.
•Use oil to clean the barrel and push a
brass brush from the chamber to the
muzzle. Never move the brush back and
forth in the barrel. Only clean in shooting
direction. Remove the brush outside of the
muzzle and carefully pull the rod back
through the barrel.
•Then pull cleaning cords in dry condition
through the barrel until the last one shows
no considerable dirt.
•Before shooting the next time fire 5 shots
to get back to the former shooting per-
formance.
•Clean external parts with a slightly oiled
cloth.
Maintenance of the trigger:
•Lubricate the bearings slightly with cold
resistant molybdenum disulphide grease
once a year.
•Spot a small amount of oil into the
bearing parts using a needle.
•The internal parts should not be washed
with spray or oil to avoid resin or other
residues in the trigger.
Attention:
When cleaning the rifle no dirt, residues of
solvents, grease or non-suitable oils must
get into the trigger mechanism. We
therefore recommend either to use our
cleaning rod guide or to clean your gun in
a way that it is horizontal or even with the
stock up to avoid any contamination of the
trigger mechanism.
Protect your rifle against dust, sand,
humidity, heat and other harmful influences.
Vacuum clean your gun case or soft gun
case once a month to remove dust and lint.
Gun cases and soft gun cases should have
a smooth and dust rejecting inner lining.
Be aware that condensed water might
occur as a result of temperature variations.
In such a case it has to be removed at once.
Leave your gun case or soft gun case open
when you store them at home so that
