1. Dip a patch in No. 10 or No. 11 Copper Cutter Solvent and pass it, on a jag or
patch holder, through the bore several times to penetrate and loosen fouling. Work from
the rear whenever possible and don't pull the dirty patch back through the bore. Note use
of muzzle guard to center rod and protect bore.
2. Dip a phosphor bronze brush of the proper size in solvent and pass it through the bore several times. Again, work from the rear and go in one direction only.
3. Pass clean, dry patches through the bore until there are no signs of residue on the patch. Work from the rear and go in one direction only.
4. Lightly lubricate (just a dab of TW25 or 3 or 4 drops of Formula 3) a bore mop of the proper size and pass it through the bore 3 or 4 times.
CLEANING THE ACTION 5. Dip a nylon or phosphor bronze gun brush in solvent and scrub areas where powder residues and fouling build up (top strap, forcing cone, ejectors, slides, etc.).
6. Follow the same procedure on bolts, frames, trigger assemblies, etc. to loosen burnt powder, old lubrication and other fouling.
7. Blast away loosed foulings with a powerful cleaner/degreaser (Gunk Out) to prepare for proper lubrication.
8. LUBRICATION: Sparingly use a quality lubricant like TW25 B, Formula 3 or Super Lube to protect moving parts and inhibit rust. Do not over-lubricate.
9. After reassembling the gun, wipe all exposed metal surfaces with a silicone gun and reel cloth to eliminate fingerprints and provide rust protection. If gun is to be stored for a length of time, consider using Rust Guardit for long-term protection.
