12.2 Cleaning the barrel
CAUTION! Gun may be damaged.
• Never clean the bore from the muzzle end and never use steel or brass wire brushes as these can destroy the polished
surface of the bore. Use only suitable cleaning rods and a brush of the correct caliber.
• Detergents can damage the surface of the gun. Carefully read the manufacturers notes and warnings before applying
solvents or cleansers.
1. Unload the Rifle (see section 5.5).
2. Remove the bolt (see section 5.6.2).
3. Clean the bore and barrel chamber from the rear using suitable fluids or grease (observe the respective instructions for
use) and a suitable bronze or plastic cleaning brush of the correct caliber.
4. Check for traces of metal fouling (leading) in the bore. If necessary remove leading with a commercially available bore
cleaning solvent (read the respective instructions for use).
5. Lightly lubricate the barrel bore and chamber with a little Rifle oil or Rifle grease.
6. Dry the bore and chamber from the rear using a plastic coated cleaning rod of the correct caliber.
