noTe: for barrels using moly coated bullets, additional cleaning may need to be done to remove the moly fouling.
11. To remove moly fouling, wrap the brass jag with a dry patch. install bore guide into receiver. apply a bore paste to the
patch and work the patch down the bore in the same manner as the copper remover. repeat as necessary but do not over
do. once all moly fouling is removed, dry patch bore until patches come out clean. excessive or improper use of abrasives
can shorten service life and/or cause loss of accuracy.
12. repeat steps 4 through 7 twice to remove any residue paste from the chamber and barrel.
noTe: To perform step 11 the muzzle brake must be removed. Moly will build up on the rifling and will not come out with
normal cleaning. it will prevent a rifle from firing at its peak, thus the reason to perform step 14.
8.3 cleaning the magazine
Magazines should be cleaned whenever the rifle is cleaned as preventive maintenance.
1. use a brush to clean inside the body.
2. clean with a rag and clP then wipe dry.
3. clean follower and dry completely.
The magazine body should be kept dry. any oil or solvent left behind will attract dirt and debris causing undue wear and
possibly feeding issues.
