If your Winchester rifle or shotgun should ever need

service or repair, it is often best to contact a Winchester

Repeating Arms Authorized Repair Center. To locate an

Authorized Repair Center visit winchesterguns.com or

contact our customer service department. In some cases

it is appropriate to use the Winchester Repeating Arms

Service Center in Arnold, Missouri. If you have any

questions contact our customer service department

and we can help you determine the best place to service

your firearm.

Parts listings, Authorized Repair Center lists, service

procedures, service/repair form and general product

information are also found on the Web at:

winchesterguns.com.
When returning your firearm for servicing, you must do

the following:
1. Be sure it is completely unloaded.
2. Remove the scope or other optics.
3. Package it securely in a cardboard container.
4. When sending your firearm, enclose the service/repair

form available at winchesterguns.com or a letter that

clearly describes the trouble experienced, the

ammunition used and the repairs desired. Also include

your name and a daytime phone number where you

can be reached.

5. If convenient, send a copy of the service/repair form

or letter to us separately.

6. Never return ammunition with your firearm. It is

against postal and most commerce regulations.

and bore until the fouling is removed. To prevent

brass bristles from breaking off, the brush should be

pushed completely through the bore before being

withdrawn. Your rifle will operate more smoothly and

reliably with a clean bore and chamber.

4. To maintain the utmost accuracy of your rifle it is

recommended you clean the bore with a copper

solvent. Modern bullet jackets are made mainly of

copper and zinc. Copper and zinc residue sticks to the

bore and require more frequent cleaning. Swab the

bore of your rifle with a good copper solvent using the

product manufacturer’s recommended procedure.

5. After fouling has been removed, wipe the bore dry.

Then pass a lightly oiled patch through the barrel for

preservation. A fine, light gun oil is recommended.

The barrel and action should be inspected thoroughly

to be certain no cleaning patches have been

inadvertently left in them.

6. The interior of the receiver and the bolt should

periodically be wiped with a clean rag. Any dried oil

in these areas or on the magazine follower should be

removed. Follow this cleaning by applying a very light

film of oil on the affected parts.

7. Lightly oil your firearm at the points described under

“Initial Cleaning and Oiling” on page 10. Ordinary

good judgment will, of course, indicate that the metal

of the gun should receive a light film of oil any time

the rifle has been exposed to weather or handling.

Remember, the polished, finely fitted surfaces of the

receiver and action mechanisms must always have a

thin film of oil. Make sure that the surfaces of the

breech block, lever components and feed mechanism

parts are especially clean and lightly oiled with a high

quality gun oil.

NOTICE! do not Pour large quantities oF oil into
the receiver or other Parts. it can drain down
to the wood and soFten it, causing PerManent
daMage and loosening oF the stocK.
8. Wipe all exposed metal surfaces of the receiver,

forearm and barrel with a clean rag. Finger marks

should be removed because they provide a place where

moisture can accumulate. Any dried oil in the receiver

area should also be removed.

9. Inspect the barrel and chamber. Make certain that no

patches have been inadvertently left in them. Remove

any that remain.

10. The wood surfaces of your rifle can also be wiped

lightly with fine oil, or you can apply a quality wood

or furniture polish to the stock and forearm. Using

one of these methods (not both), will enhance the

beauty and durability of your rifle.
