At the end of the hunting season, it is high time to thoroughly clean your Hunting Guns! This not only for your safety but also to maintain the value of the gun for a long time. <\/p>\n

\n

Here are some recommendations for cleaning your guns.<\/p>\n

Disassemble<\/h4>\n

Caution when disassembling and reassembling. Many a barrel hook is damaged by this operation.
\nNormally, this should be done smoothly and the weapon should fall apart, so to speak, when disassembling and click together smoothly when reassembling. <\/p>\n

If not, get assistance from an expert or firearms dealer.<\/p>\n

Walking<\/h4>\n

Clean the barrels with a good polishing cloth and for the inside with a polishing stick with rag. Do this until the barrels look smooth again and no residue or marks can be found. <\/p>\n

If necessary, clean the inside with a polishing brush, possibly fine steel wool (on the polishing stick) or with a Gun Cord.<\/p>\n

Be careful with bore cleaners, these are sometimes corrosive and should not be left in the barrels for too long.<\/p>\n

A smooth run can be provided with a light layer of oil after cleaning which can remain in place during use.<\/p>\n

With a barrel with rifles and fields, it must be removed because this layer can affect the shot image but can also damage the barrel. This is due to the combustion of the oil residues.
\nAn exception to this is the cal. 22 of which the bullets are even already covered with a layer of grease. <\/p>\n

A good cleaning tip for pellet guns that are not easy to disassemble is to put an EMPTY shell in the chamber and close the latch and then clean the barrel from the front with a brush so that the powder and lead residue fall into the shell and not into the mechanism.<\/p>\n

Mechanical parts<\/h4>\n

Then it is the turn of the mechanical parts. Clean with a cloth or fine brush.
\nLightly oil all the metal parts, and put the gun back together. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

Flask<\/h4>\n

To finish, work the wood with good cob oil.<\/p>\n

Storage<\/h4>\n

After cleaning, the rifle can be stored, best when assembled.<\/p>\n

If you have oiled the barrel and bascule, do not place the weapon with the stock at the bottom. The oil soaks into the stock and makes it soft. As a result, sooner or later, the stock is bound to break.
\nAlso, therefore, never put a wet weapon in a case or pouch. <\/p>\n

Relaxing the firing pin (always with a dummy, not an old pattern) is allowed but not required.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”6751″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” img_link_large=”yes” hover_animation=”zoom-crop” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]\n
