STOCK ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the stock, loosen screws in
buttplate sufficiently to allow insertion of
the desired number of spacers (See
drawing No. 10). Spacers go between
stock and buttplate. Each insert will adjust
stock length 5/8 inch (.625 inch). After
stock adjustment inserts have been added,
tighten buttplate screws to lock inserts in
place. To shorten the stock, reverse this
procedure. Be certain spacers are placed
so the molded cleats nest in the molded
receptacle.
PROPER CARE
With care, periodic cleaning and lubrication, your Avanti Elite, model 753, Competition Pellet Rifle
will provide many years of shooting enjoyment. As is the case with conventional firearms, abuse,
neglect and continued exposure to the elements will impair the performance. Learn to take care of
your Avanti Elite, model 753, Competition Pellet Rifle and it will serve you well.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to clean the Avanti Elite, model 753, Competition Pellet Rifle
until you put the trigger safety in the “ON” position (no red showing), have made absolutely
certain that the gun is not loaded and have the bolt in the fully open position.
STOCK AND FOREARM: The wooden stock may be wiped clean with a damp rag, and lightly
waxed.
EXTERIOR PARTS: Exposed metal parts (i.e., receiver, barrel, etc.) should occasionally be wiped
clean using a soft, lightly oiled cloth. Use a clean motor oil.
BARREL: The barrel should be cleaned occasionally to maintain accuracy. We recommend using
Daisy’s No. 5875 Cleaning Kit. To clean the barrel, open bolt and insert cleaning rod and oil
saturated patches into the muzzle-end of the bore. Retract the rod and patch from the barrel.
Repeat this procedure several times with oiled patches, then switch to dry patches. Continue using
dry patches until most of the oil is removed from the bore.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing tip on the bolt when the cleaning rod tip enters the
loading area. It may be necessary to clean the barrel approximately every 50 shots to maintain
maximum accuracy. Frequent cleaning may be necessary when the gun is new, and until excess oil
is removed from the pump system.
