After cleaning the action, spray it very lightly
with Gun Pro. You may also apply a very, very
light coat of Gun Glide to the rear portion
of the bottom of the sears where they make
contact with the selector pear. This can be
done with the tip of a toothpick, and, again,
only a very, very light film of lubricant is nee-
ded. The barrels must be cleaned to remove
lead fouling and the build up of plastic
from wads. Use a conventional bore solvent
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
saturating cleaning patches with the solvent
and running them through the bore with a
shotgun cleaning rod. For particularly stub-
born fouling, apply more solvent and use a
phosphor bronze cleaning brush. Then alter-
nate solvent-soaked and dry patches until
the bore is clean and finish with a light coat
of Gun Pro. If your barrel is equipped with
choke tubes, clean the barrel first with the
tubes installed and then remove and clean the
tubes themselves as described above (p.14).
If you shoot in the rain or snow and your
gun is wet, disassemble it; wipe it dry; and
then allow it to air dry thoroughly overnight
before applying a light coat of gun oil.
Annual Service:
For the dedicated clay target competitor, the
Krieghoff Annual Service is recommended
after every 15,000 to 20,000 rounds to keep
your Krieghoff in top form and insure consist-
ent performance. The gun is disassembled,
cleaned, and re-lubricated. Minor springs and
circlips are replaced. And it is fine tuned to
original factory specifications.
