CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER attempt to clean a loaded firearm. Make sure the rifle is completely unloaded (chamber and magazine empty) before cleaning.
Cleaning the Barrel
1. Make sure the safety is engaged in the “safe” position.
2. Remove the bolt from the rifle.
3. Select a cleaning rod and brush of the appropriate caliber for your rifle.
4. Soak the cleaning brush with a quality gun cleaning solvent (such as Remington BriteBore® solvent or
Remington Bore Cleaner).
5. Push the cleaning rod and brush through the entire length of the barrel several times.
6. Remove the brush from the cleaning rod and attach a dry cleaning patch to the patch attachment.
7. Push the rod and dry patch through the entire length of the barrel several times. Repeat with another dry
patch until the patch is no longer dirty.
8. Put a patch saturated with a quality gun oil (such as Rem
®
Oil) on the rod tip.
9. Push the oiled patch through the barrel several times.
10. Remove the oiled patch from the rod tip, and insert another dry patch.
11. Push the dry patch through the barrel several times to remove any excess oil from the barrel.
12. When you have finished cleaning the interior of the barrel, visually check the bore to make sure no
patches or other obstructions remain in the barrel.
13. Apply a thin coat of gun oil to the outside of the barrel with a soft clean cloth.
Cleaning the Action
1. Use a patch or soft clean cloth to clean powder residues and any other foreign materials from the bolt and
receiver surfaces. To clean congealed lubricants or other hard to remove deposits, use a quality action
cleaner (such as Rem
®
Action Cleaner). (See
Picture 21)
2. Apply a light film of quality gun oil (such as Rem
®
Oil) along the bolt and receiver surfaces. Avoid appl-
ying too much lubricant - only a light film is necessar
y.
