C LEANING THE I NVECTOR -P LUS C HOKE S YSTEM —
1. Do not use a brass brush to clean your barrel unless a
choke tube is installed in the barrel. Bristles could break
off and lodge in the threads, making installation and
removal difficult.
2. Regularly remove your gun’s tube in order to clean and
oil the threads inside the barrel, as well as on the choke
tube itself. This will protect the threads from being
damaged and also prevent a dirt build-up that would cause
the choke tube to become difficult to remove from the
barrel. Clean the threads with solvent and a small, soft
brush like a toothbrush. Wipe completely clean and leave
a thin film of clean oil on the threads: both on the tube
and in the barrel. The threads of the choke tube and the
internal threads of the barrel should be cleaned after each
use and before the installation of a tube.
3. Be careful when removing/installing a tube. Use the
specially designed wrench. Damage can result to both
choke tube and barrel when attempting to remove sticky
choke tubes.
4. Never fire your shotgun or run cleaning tools through
the barrel of any choke-tubed gun without having the
choke tube installed.
O 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
— and cause 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.
• Camouflage and synthetic-stocked models require the
same care and cleaning as non-camouflage. Use the same
oils and solvents as described previous in this manual.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR SUPER X2
APART FURTHER THAN EXPLAINED IN
THIS MANUAL.

permanently mar it by attempting to disassemble the
inner mechanism assemblies. If further disassembly for
service or cleaning is required, take your gun to a U. S.

Repair Center or a competent gunsmith as explained
under “Service or Repair.”
