Winchester Repeating Arms 1885 Centerfire - Manual (Page 12)

I NITIAL C LEANING
Before the first firing, clean the anti-rust compound
from the inside of the barrel and receiver with a clean
rag and light gun oil. Lightly oil the action along the
sides of the breech block and at the pivot points on
the lever. Only a small film of oil will ever be neces-
sary. To prevent rust, regularly wipe down all metal
surfaces with an oiled rag. See “Cleaning and
Maintenance Suggestions” later in the manual.
