If your Winchester rifle or shotgun should ever need
service or repair, it is often best to contact a Winchester
Repeating Arms Authorized Repair Center. To locate an
Authorized Repair Center visit winchesterguns.com or
contact our customer service department. In some cases
it is appropriate to use the Winchester Repeating Arms
Service Center in Arnold, Missouri. If you have any
questions contact our customer service department
and we can help you determine the best place to service
your firearm.

procedures, service/repair form and general product
information are also found on the Web at:

When returning your firearm for servicing, you must do
the following:
1. Be sure it is completely unloaded.
2. Remove the scope or other optics.
3. Package it securely in a cardboard container.
4. When sending your firearm, enclose the service/repair
form available at winchesterguns.com or a letter that
clearly describes the trouble experienced, the
ammunition used and the repairs desired. Also include
your name and a daytime phone number where you
can be reached.
5. If convenient, send a copy of the service/repair form
or letter to us separately.
6. Never return ammunition with your firearm. It is
against postal and most commerce regulations.
and bore until the fouling is removed. To prevent
brass bristles from breaking off, the brush should be
pushed completely through the bore before being
withdrawn. Your rifle will operate more smoothly and
reliably with a clean bore and chamber.
4. To maintain the utmost accuracy of your rifle it is
recommended you clean the bore with a copper
solvent. Modern bullet jackets are made mainly of
copper and zinc. Copper and zinc residue sticks to the
bore and require more frequent cleaning. Swab the
bore of your rifle with a good copper solvent using the
product manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
5. After fouling has been removed, wipe the bore dry.
Then pass a lightly oiled patch through the barrel for
preservation. A fine, light gun oil is recommended.
The barrel and action should be inspected thoroughly
to be certain no cleaning patches have been
inadvertently left in them.
6. The interior of the receiver and the bolt should
periodically be wiped with a clean rag. Any dried oil
in these areas or on the magazine follower should be
removed. Follow this cleaning by applying a very light
film of oil on the affected parts.
7. Lightly oil your firearm at the points described under
“Initial Cleaning and Oiling” on page 10. Ordinary
good judgment will, of course, indicate that the metal
of the gun should receive a light film of oil any time
the rifle has been exposed to weather or handling.
Remember, the polished, finely fitted surfaces of the
receiver and action mechanisms must always have a
thin film of oil. Make sure that the surfaces of the
breech block, lever components and feed mechanism
parts are especially clean and lightly oiled with a high
quality gun oil.
NOTICE! do not 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.
8. Wipe all exposed metal surfaces of the receiver,
forearm and barrel with a clean rag. Finger marks
should be removed because they provide a place where
moisture can accumulate. Any dried oil in the receiver
area should also be removed.
9. Inspect the barrel and chamber. Make certain that no
patches have been inadvertently left in them. Remove
any that remain.
10. The wood surfaces of your rifle can also be wiped
lightly with fine oil, or you can apply a quality wood
or furniture polish to the stock and forearm. Using
one of these methods (not both), will enhance the
beauty and durability of your rifle.
