How to Clean Your Rifle
• WARNING: Never attempt to wipe down or
clean a loaded firearm. Follow instructions
under “How to Unload” before cleaning.
Caution: Before using any solvent or other
gun cleaning product, read the label care-
fully to be sure it will not damage either the
finish, or any parts of this firearm.
NOTE for stainless steel models:
Although stainless steel is corrosion-resis-
tant, it can rust. If the rifle gets wet, dirty, or
is subject to excessive handling, wipe
down metal parts with oil or a rust-inhibitor.
Minor scratches can be “buffed out” of
stainless steel with a “Scotch-Brite
TM
Very Fine” pad, available in hardware
and automotive supply stores.
Cleaning the Bore
Since modern ammunition burns very clean-
ly, with normal use it is not necessary to
clean the bore of your rifle. However, if it gets
wet, or if any foreign material gets into the
action or barrel, cleaning as described below
is recommended.
With the safety on SAFE, visually check
the chamber and feedthroat to be sure no
cartridges remain in the rifle. The orange
magazine follower should appear in the
feedthroat. Next, pull the charging handle
all the way back and lock in the manual
hold-open position.
To clean the bore and barrel, use any
standard .22 caliber commercial cleaning
rod and cleaning patches. Clean the barrel
with powder solvent and wipe lightly with
gun oil after cleaning.
Cleaning the Action
We recommend that you wear safety
glasses while disassembling this rifle.
We recommend cleaning the inside of the
receiver, bolt face, extractors, and butt end
of the barrel (around the chamber) after fir-
ing each 250 rounds. (Frequency of clean-
ing may depend on brand of ammunition
used.) A toothbrush and commercial gun
cleaning solvent will simplify the job. (Be
sure to follow manufacturer of gun clean-
er's directions, as some chemicals may
damage the synthetic trigger guard.)
The steps listed below should be followed
carefully to assure proper disassembly,
cleaning and reassembly.
Step #1 — With the safety on SAFE and
the inner magazine tube locked in place,
unload the gun and visually check to be
doubly sure no cartridges remain. Then
close the action completely.
Step #2 — The inner magazine tube
should be removed in accordance with
the procedure described under “How
to Load”.
