breaking off, the brush should be pushed completely
through the bore before being withdrawn. If cast lead
slugs are used a lead solvent may be used as well to fully
clean the bore. Follow the instructions on all solvents
and cleaners.
3. After fouling has been removed the bore should be
wiped dry. Then pass a slightly oiled patch through the
bore for preservation. A fine, light gun oil is recommended.
4. 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.
5. Then lightly oil your gun at the points described under
“Oiling the Action” (page 13). The metal of the gun
should receive a light film of oil any time the shotgun
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. Do
not use pure silicone or lanolin.
6.
INSPECT THE BARREL AND CHAMBER. TO
MAKE CERTAIN THAT NO PATCHES HAVE
BEEN INADVERTENTLY LEFT IN THEM.
Remove any that remain.
7. Wipe all wood surfaces.
8. When transporting only, store your gun in a quality
protective case to prevent scratches and dents. Store in a
dry place to prevent corrosion. Store away from children.
MAKE SURE YOUR GUN IS UNLOADED
AND ALWAYS STORE AMMUNITION
SEPARATELY.

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