Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning Procedure for Bolt Action Rifles and Revolvers
NOTE:
**BEFORE YOU START THE CLEANING PROCESS, MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED AND YOU HAVE A WELL VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND/OR DISTRACTIONS, TO WORK IN!
-
MC#7Bore Cleaner and Conditioner
Start by saturating a patch with Shooter’s Choice MC#7 Bore Cleaner and Conditioner. Then push the patch through the bore to remove the loose powder residue, which will totally expose the copper and lead fouling. A one piece coated cleaning rod is recommended. A coated rod will protect the bore and lands in case the rod bows during cleaning. Remember, a $20.00 rod is cheaper to replace than a $300.00 barrel.
-
Quick Srub III Cleaner/Degreaser
Wet a properly fitted Phosphorous Bronze Brush and push it back and forth through the bore 10 to 12 times. When cleaning a revolver, run a wet brush through each charge hole 11 to 12 times as well. Please Note: After brushing, flush the brush with Shooter’s Choice Quick Scrub Cleaner/Degreaser to remove the dirty residue and to neutralize the solvent from dissolving the bristles. We recommend using a straight bronze bristled brush with a brass core to prevent any damage to the lands.
-
Synthetic All-Weather High-Tech Gun Grease
Again saturate two patches and individually push each one through the bore back and forth to remove any additional loose powder, carbon, copper and lead fouling.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3. However, this time, let the solvent
remain in the bore for 10 to 12 minutes. - To clean the receiver, bolt group and trigger assembly,
apply Shooter’s Choice MC#7 Bore Cleaner and Conditioner
directly to the areas that need cleaning and then flush
these areas with Shooter’s Choice Quick Scrub Cleaner/Degreaser. - Now push a dry patch through the bore (include charge
holes if cleaning a revolver). If the patch comes out
clean, the cleaning procedure is now complete. A blue/green
patch indicates that copper fouling* is still present,
a black patch indicates that powder and carbon fouling
is still present. If the patch comes out dirty, repeat
the above steps until a clean patch is produced. -
Rust Prevent Preservative/Lubricant
After you have cleaned your bore and wiped off any residual
bore cleaner, apply either Shooter’s Choice High-Tech
all Weather Grease or FP-10 Lubricant Elite
to all moving parts and wear surface. APPLY SPARINGLY!!
More is not better in lubricating a firearm. Today’s lubricants
are designed to operate when used sparingly, over lubrication
can cause malfunctions. - To protect your firearm from Rust and Corrosion for
short and long term storage, saturate a patch with Shooter’s
Choice Rust Prevent and run the patch through the
bore. Spray the complete receiver, trigger assembly and
all exterior metal surfaces with Rust Prevent. This will
offer outstanding protection from the elements, as well
as finger print acids. Shooter’s Choice Rust Prevent
is harmless to most surfaces, including wood and plastic.
Always apply your lubrication to your metal to metal wear
points prior to applying the Rust Prevent. Shooter’s
Choice Rust Prevent is designed to pull the moisture
out of the pores of the steel and seal them from the elements.
Shooter’s Choice lubricants are designed to penetrate
the pores of the steel and will continue to lubricate
even when the majority is removed due to heat and recoil.
NOTE:
Extra Strength Copper Remover
For heavy copper fouled bores use Shooter’s Choice Extra
Strength Copper Remover. The Copper remover is designed
to only remove copper fouling. It is very important to follow
all of the instructions on the label for safe and complete
copper fouling removal.
RECOMMENDATION:
Prior to shooting the previously cleaned firearm, run a wet
patch with Shooter’s Choice MC#7 Bore Cleaner and Conditioner
to break down any oils or rust inhibitors. Then dry patch
to remove the contaminated bore cleaner. This procedure will
bring back the proper pressures and should insure first round
accuracy.
The above cleaning instructions are only suggestions and in no way will Shooter’s Choice/Venco Inc. take responsibility for damage or harm done to either a person or property.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED BEFORE STARTING YOUR CLEANING PROCESS.
