MODELS WITH SPECIAL FINISHES

As with any firearm, the only way to preserve its pristine condition and

collector appeal is to never handle or fire it, which in turn would

deprive you of much of the enjoyment that comes with owning a fine

Browning firearm.

While special finishes such as engraving and gold plating greatly

enhance the aesthetic appeal of your shotgun, please be aware that

they are no more durable, and in some cases may even be slightly less

durable than more common firearm finishes.

As you use your shotgun, you can expect special finishes to wear in

much the same manner as any other firearm finish. These marks are

the honest product of the hours spent enjoying your firearm and each

scuff and scratch will probably have a good story to go along with it.

NOTICE! do not use excessive lubricAnt. using too much

lubricAnt cAn interfere with the functioning of your shotgun.

do not sprAy solvent inside the Action tube.

4 Carefully rest the shotgun vertically on a rag with the action tube

down to allow any excess oil to drain out of the action tube. Wipe

away any excess oil.

5 Lightly lubricate the external surface of the action tube.

6 Install the buttstock and recoil pad as explained previously.

NOTICE! do not tAke your fireArm’s Action ApArt beyond whAt

is explAined in this owner’s mAnuAl. this is A speciAliZed,

finely fitted mechAnism; Any Attempt to disAssemble the inner

mechAnism mAy mAr it for life. it is unnecessAry, And mAy do

dAmAge to the inner mechAnism to disAssemble it for routine

cleAning And oiling. of course, misfortunes (such As dropping

your fireArm in wAter) require AppropriAte Attention, And in

such circumstAnces we recommend you immediAtely tAke your

fireArm to A quAlified gunsmith.

MAINTENANCE OF OIL FINISH STOCKS

Keeping the oil-finished wood surface on your firearm looking its

best requires only a small amount of maintenance. When the surface

becomes spotted or dull, the affected area(s) can be treated using

rubbing alcohol on a soft, lint free cloth and allowed to dry. A small

amount of a linseed oil-based finish, such as Watco

Danish Oil Finish,

Deft

Danish Oil Finish, or Formby’s

Tung Oil Finish should then be

applied to the surface of the wood with a soft, lint free cloth according

to the manufacturer’s instructions. To treat the checkering, a small

amount of oil-based finish can be applied and then distributed evenly

using a toothbrush or other soft bristled brush.
