THER CLEANING SUGGESTIONS
—
•
Never pour large quantities of oil into the receiver or
other parts. It can drain down to the wood and soften
it — causing permanent damage and loosening of
the stock.
•
After extended periods of heavy use, your shotgun
should be taken to a qualified gunsmith to have the
action disassembled for professional cleaning
and lubrication.

Be especially careful when cleaning firearms with camou-
flage, Dura-Touch
®
Armor Coating and other special fin-
ishes. Always prevent these surfaces from coming in con-
tact with cleaning solvents, barrel scrubbers and other
strong chemicals. It is preferable to clean these surfaces
with a light gun oil containing no solvents or with a damp
cloth and mild dish soap (be sure to keep water out of the
action). When cleaning your firearm's bore and action
be sure to protect the external finishes from any contact
with chemicals used. Also avoid any contact between
external finishes and other strong chemicals like those
found in DEET-containing insect repellents, sunscreens,
etc. Damage to camouflage, Dura-Touch and other finishes
caused by chemicals is irreversible and unrepairable.
