with nitro-solvent. If, or when, fouling should become heavy, it can be removed with a brass bore brush. Dip the brush in nitro-solvent and scrub the chamber and bore until the fouling is removed. To prevent brass bristles from breaking off, the brush should be pushed completely through the bore before being withdrawn. Your BAR will operate smoothly and reliably with a clean bore and chamber. 5 After fouling has been removed, the bore should be wiped dry. Then pass a slightly oiled patch through it for preservation. A fine, light gun oil like Browning Oil is recommended. 6 The interior of the receiver and the bolt should periodically be wiped off with a clean rag. This is best done with the trigger group removed, see "Removing the Trigger Group"on page 14, and with the magazine floorplate open and the bolt in its open position. Any dried oil in these areas and on the magazine follower should be removed. Follow this cleaning by applying a very light film of oil on the affected parts. Do not pour large quantities of oil into the action. An excess of oil will run into the wood and cause it to soften or warp. 7 Wipe all exposed metal surfaces with an oiled cloth, making sure to wipe gun clean of all finger marks. Finger marks should be removed because they provide a place where moisture can accumulate. 8 The wood surfaces of your BAR can also be wiped lightly with fine oil, or you can apply a quality wood or furniture polish to the stock and forearm. Using one of these methods (not both) will enhance the beauty and durability of your BAR. 24
