conditions, we strongly recommend the use of a soft brass 

 cleaner, either the bristle type, or the woven wire type. Do 

 not use the iron wire brushes usually furnished with jointed, 

 wooden cleaning rods as the continued use of these iron 

 brushes for ordinary cleaning will spoil the polished sur- 

 face of the bore. Such brushes are useful only for cases 

 of severe rust. 



tk The following procedure will keep your barrel in 

 perfect condition, provided, of course, it was not rusty be- 

 fore you started shooting: 



44 Scrub the barrel thoroughly with a brass cleaner 

 which has been oiled with Rem Oil. Allow it to stand for 

 a few minutes, then run through several dry cloth patches 

 and finish up with one which has been saturated with 

 Re in Oil. You may now safely lay away your shotgun 

 with the assurance that it will stay in perfect condition 

 unless you leave it where it is exposed to moisture. 



.22 Caliber Rifle Barrels: 



"To clean .22 caliber rifle barrels and other low power 

 sizes, scrub w r ith a soft brass bristle brush soaked w r ith Rein 

 Oil. Follow with four or five pieces of cloth, every other one 

 saturated with Rein Oil. Have the last one fit a bit loos- 

 er than the others, and have as much Rem Oil on it as pos- 

 sible so as to leave a good coating on the 'inside of the 

 barrel. Smokeless powder used in .22 caliber rifles is 

 more liable to cause rust than less smoke. To get the best 

 results when smokeless powder is used, clean immediately 

 or just as soon as possible after firing the last shot. 



"If the rifle barrel becomes leaded and a brass bristle 

 brush fails to remove the lead, it may be cleaned by running 

 quicksilver through it. The lead will amalgamate with 

 the quicksilver. Plug one end of the barrel and put in 

 the quicksilver, the other end to be held with the finger 

 and the barrel turned end to end, rolling occasionally so 

 that all the surface will be reached by the quicksilver. Tt;
