The most important rule for cleaning a hunting gun is, of course, the regularity of the process. In the manual of the weapon you will find guidelines on how many shots the gun should be cleaned after, usually manufacturers recommend cleaning the gun after about 300 shots. Before cleaning the gun, the magazine should be disengaged, the lock should be pulled back and the cartridge chamber should be visually and manually inspected. After partially disassembling the gun, remove the carbon buildup "dry" with a paper towel, rag or nylon brush. We apply solvent to the key elements of the weapon (barrel and lock), which after several minutes softens the carbon build-up. The greatest attention should be paid to cleaning the barrel tube. Using a string or a scrubber with a brush, we remove the carbon buildup from the barrel (in the direction from the cartridge chamber to the barrel exit). After that, we clean the lock and the gun's perimeter. Small brushes, ear cleaning sticks and scrapers can be useful, helping to reach all the "nooks and crannies". After cleaning the weapon, we lubricate the manufacturer's indicated components and mechanisms with a small amount of grease/oil. An element that should not be forgotten when cleaning the weapon is the magazine, where powder gas residues also accumulate.
