NOTE: S t o re your rifle in a cool, dry, secured area. Storage in a gun
case should be avoided as it may hasten condensation and corro s i o n .
During long periods of storage, periodically check for signs of pitting
or rusting on the surface and in the barrel bore .
NOTE: The myth that stainless steel & nickel doesn’t have to be
cleaned as much as blued steel is false. You need to clean and
lubricate your stainless barrel just as you would a blued steel
barrel. The stainless and nickel barrels are more rust resistant
than blued steel, but over time can rust.
