How to Clean a Bolt-Action Center Fire Rifle

This article will show you how to clean your rifle the right way. It will also let you know what items you will need to buy.

WARNING: Always make sure firearm is unloaded of live or spent ammunition.

First, you will need to remove the bolt from the rifle. most firearm manufactures have their own unique bolt release lever on the opposite side of the breach (which is the ammo loading and unloading side of the
firearm). If your rifle has a magazine (under side of rifle in front of trigger), you will need to remove that as
well. Some rifle's have either a single or duel magazine release lever, which you push in towards the magazine or away from it to release the magazine from the firearm.

The next step is to assemble the two or three small bore brush poles together by threading them end to
end until they are hand-tight. to end you will need to thread the correct size steel bristle bore brush into the
bore brush pole (opposite of the handle), to be able to clean the inside of the rifle barrel, then stand the rifle
on its stock (the opposite end of the rifle barrel) and slowly insert the bore brush into the barrel turning it clockwise as you gently push it down all the way through the chamber.

After inserting the bore brush all the way down to the chamber remove the brush by pulling it up and continuing
to rotate it clockwise, the bore brush, the bore brush poles, and handle rotate at the same time to avoid them
separating from each other in the rifle barrel.

Next you will need to remove the bore brush from the from the end of the bore brush pole. Once you have
done this, insert the correct threaded soft bore cleaning end, and repeat the same steps you preformed when you used the threaded hard bristle bore brush.

Then, remove the soft threaded bore cleaning end, and insert the slotted end. Then place a small flat piece
of cleaning cloth (cut to fit), through the slot in the end, and spray, or drop a small amount of gun oil on it.

Next you will need to insert the soft cleaning cloth, and bore rod into the rifle barrel and "gently" push down,
and rotate clockwise at the same time. Make sure to push the cleaning assembly all the way down through
the chamber.

After inserting all the way down through the the chamber remove cleaning assembly by "gently" pulling up and
rotating clockwise at the same time until it is completely removed from the rifle barrel. Now the inside of the
rifle is cleaned, oiled, protected - and ready for use.

WARNING: Always make sure the inside of the rifle barrel is free of obstacles, and that nothing has gotten lodged in the rifle barrel or breach / chamber ! !

Now, you will need to oil the outside of the rifle barrel, chamber, and scope. I prefer to use oil impregnated
soft cloth cleaning wipes, but you can use whatever you like, or feel comfortable with. Then spray a little gun
oil on the moving parts such as: the trigger, bolt, assembly, firing pin, and magazine. Wipe off any excess oil, slide the bolt assembly in and out, try the safety mechanism, and trigger (note: only "dry fire" or pull the trigger without ammunition in it once or twice as doing this repeatedly will damage the firing pin / trigger assembly),
and your bolt-action center firing rifle is ready to go with you on your next trip.
