The diameter of the projectile - which is often echoed by the calibre - mostly corresponds to the groove diameter. When the gun is Gred, the projectile is slightly squeezed through the barrel and thus receives a char- acteristic cinch mark pattern, allowing it to be attributed to the corre sponding barrel. 19

same type of cleaning and minimal oil use. A renowned Lower Bavarian gunsmith has carried out detailed tests on this. However, before the Grst shot, the barrel should deGnitely be drawn through dry again to prevent too many oil residues in the barrel when the cleaning shot is performed leading to problems - even to long-term bar- rel damage. In the case of a gun that is looked after in normal fashion, a wafer-thin Glm of oil remains in the barrel despite it being drawn through dry and the barrel is thus protected suNciently from Uash rust. However, it must be ensured that the chamber is dry. Not only can oil and grease in the chamber inUuence the point of impact but also lead to a much increased load on the breech due to a lack of obturation.

Therefore, you should be extremely careful with TeUon®-containing lu bricants and cleaning agents. If at all, these should be used for the me chanics only, although here, too, they o er no recognizable advantage compared to reliable gun oils such as Ballistol Universal Oil and GunCer. TeUon® is a protected trademark of The Chemours Company F.C., L.L.C and denotes the agent polytetraUuoroethylene (PTFE).

Designations

In the process, the double bonds present in the molecular structure break up and reassemble. Macromolecules thus form, which become steadily larger and thus also increasingly viscosity. The result: a resinous mass de velops that blocks the mechanics, is diNcult to remove and, in the worst case scenario, can even render the gun unusable. Only in the case of stock oil is this resiniGcation process desired, as the pores of the wood are thus closed. Thanks to their composition, high-quality oils - especially synthetic and mineral oils - cannot resinify, as their molecular structure is not destroyed by atmospheric oxygen. 27
Ballistol Universal Oil consists largely of medicinal white oil, meaning that this resiniGcation phenomenon cannot arise in the Grst place. With Ballistol Universal Oil, only the alcohols that come from natural fermen tation evaporate due to exposure to air and light. A vaseline-type protec- tive Glm remains, which, however, is neither highly viscous nor sticky and cannot therefore restrict the functionality in any way. The lubricating ef- fect remains. Therefore, WD40, Caramba and other simple oils that can be purchased at DIY stores should deGnitely not be used for gun maintenance. Due to the high proportion of petroleum or other solvents they contain, ac- ceptable cleaning properties can be achieved, but they are thus also very Ueeting and o er no long-term protection - accordingly, users must re-oil frequently. Another disadvantage is the easily irritating substances they often contain. Gun parts made of wood or leather can be damaged - as well as the user"s own skin can be. Hence, there are many good reasons to opt for high-quality gun oils such as Ballistol Universal Oil, Gunex or GunCer, which do not, because they cannot resinify. So instead of using low-quality products that can cause damage, entail high costs for repairs and replacing individual compo nents and that often have to be used again and again, it is worth it for you to place your trust in BALLISTOL for e ective protecting agents and lubricants for all areas. Nevertheless, if you use high-quality oils from BALLISTOL, you should of course ensure that you do not use too much oil, as an excessively oiled barrel or system can - especially in low temperatures - lead to problems, such as dirt coming into contact with the excess oil.

that cannot damage the barrel. The focus with the handle bearing should be on minimal bearing clearance and on its ability to run smoothly not, for instance, on its rotational speed. The actual handle should Gt as well as possible in the hand so that the pressure can be transferred optimally onto the cleaning utensil. A recommended alternative to the plastic coating is the newer cleaning rods made of carbon, a material that shows itself resistant to all cleaning liquids on the market. In addition, carbon is soft enough not to damage the barrel but at the same time is also extremely stable, allowing even the most stubborn of deposits to be removed without any problem. Another advantage relevant to hunting trips is that cleaning rods made of carbon are at least 50% lighter than spring steel versions, for example. 33

unlike microGbre cloths, absorbs the dirt into the Gbre. Normal, fuzz-free kitchen towel and tissue paper can also be used without any problems and in versatile fashion (matt side to the barrel). Additionally, a tooth brush, pipe cleaners, dental tools made of plastic, toothpicks and shish kebab skewers are often very helpful for gun cleaning and perform good services in the case of small sites that are hard to access.

Utensils

In addition, special gun oils such as Gunex, GunCer and GunTec are also available, which, although not as versatile as Ballistol Universal Oil, have special qualities in speciGc areas. Use of normal multi-functional oils is deGnitely not to be advised, as these can neither neutralize the acidic residues nor can they o er long- term protection for the gun. In addition, they may damage the stock wood or the leather riUe sling as well. Attention should also be paid to the suitability of the products when it comes to chemical detergents. Some solvents and cleaning agents such as acetone or a cheap brake cleaner can attack and damage the gun mate rials. Therefore, only suitable special cleaners should be used here -such as the gun parts cleaner from BALLISTOL - in order to achieve an optimal result. This cleaner"s extremely e ective mix of active agents achieves a convincing cleaning result and thanks to the strong spray jet, soiling can easily be sprayed o , even at sites that are hard to access. Additionally, particularly stubborn soiling on surfaces and guides can also easily be cleaned mechanically using the attachable brush made of stable nylon bristles - without damaging the surfaces, e.g. when browning. 37

contrast to full metal jackets, complete-jacketed projectiles have a com pletely closed projectile body, with the base sealed o by a tombac lamel la - hence, the lead cannot be fused. The same applies to copper-coated projectiles - lead projectiles that are completely coated with a layer of copper by galvanic means. Another special case is lead projectiles equipped with a gas rear that cov- ers only the projectile base. Here, although the ignition does not cause the lead to be fused, the projectile does leave a certain amount of lead deposits behind. 43

should also be taken into account that such projectiles do not o er par- ticularly good accuracy.

Before sintered or soft iron ammunition

is shot, the user should make absolutely sure to check whether the barrel is also de signed for it. Many older barrels in particu lar are not suitable for the use of sintered and soft iron ammunition.

Due to iron abrasion - especially in the

case of non-chrome-plated barrels - there is the risk of so-called contact corrosion arising. Therefore, sintered and soft iron ammunition is considered corrosion-trig gering. Consequently, when sintered and soft iron ammunition is used, immediate and intensive cleaning as well as subsequent maintenance are required, for example with Gunex or Ballistol Universal Oil. Additionally, checking the barrel again after approximately 3-5 days is recommended.

Checking

be taken into account that residues of the tin coat must be removed with the brush. In the case of similar ammunition from other manufacturers, the mild steel is partially coated with a tombac coating; residues of this ammunition can accordingly be dissolved using Robla Solo MIL. 47
The much more e ective, gentle and, above all, simple way is Ballistol Black Powder Solvent, which was developed specially for this purpose. It is available as a liquid container and as a spray that forms an active foam. Ballistol Black Powder Solvent liquid is especially suitable for use with a cleaning rod and felt cleaners.

Once the gun has been disassembled, the level of soiling is ascertained. This is the basis for the selection of the appropriate cleaning agents and tools. Once the rough outer dirt has been removed, attention is turned to clean ing the barrel. To this end, spray Ballistol Universal Oil or GunCer into the barrel from the chamber; if Ballistol Universal Oil is used, turn and tilt the gun back and forth several times so that the inner walls of the barrel are moistened evenly as far as possible. An oil or nylon brush can also be used for this. If GunCer is used, put the barrel to one side with the muzzle facing downwards and wait until the foam that has been produced falls and drips out of the barrel at the bottom - a sign that the barrel is moistened evenly from top to bottom inside. It is important that the barrel be fac- ing downwards when it is sprayed. This prevents powder not burnt with the oil and other dirt from getting into the breech mechanism and causing damage. Otherwise, the mechanism will become sti ; in extreme cases, the Gring pin can even jam. Once the oil has reached the lands and grooves and the entire polygonal surface, allow it to take e ect for a few minutes so that the deposits and combustion residues can dissolve. Subsequently, the barrel is drawn through with a dry piece of tow, a patch or a comfort cleaner made of felt. This procedure must be repeated to ensure that all the oil has been removed. Usually, the material used is pushed or pulled from the chamber towards the muzzle. In the case of stationary barrels or closed systems, it is pushed or pulled from the muzzle to the chamber and back again. This general ly a ects semi-automatic hunting guns as well as muzzle-loading guns and revolvers. The mobile cleaning set Flex-Clean from BALLISTOL o ers a very good alternative to the laborious cleaning of closed systems with the cleaning rod. Here, the felt cleaners can be screwed on and pulled from the chamber to the muzzle. Thanks to the coated steel rope, possible damage to the muzzle is avoided.

Cleaning

Should slight grey colouring still be visible on the pieces of felt after the material has been pulled through the barrel, you have, in fact, achieved your goal. Most guns do not need to be mirror-like; a slight grey colouring of the felt can be tolerated. However, the user is free to repeat the process until the pieces of felt are clean. Thus you can be sure that all the soiling is removed. It is important that a fresh piece of tow or a felt plug be used; otherwise, the dirt would not be removed from the barrel, but only distributed evenly within it. Here, felt plugs have the advantage of being turned on a thread and also of being secured with a small nut, meaning they are Gxed on the cleaning rod and can not fall down by accident during the cleaning. If even tougher residues are subsequently present, than as sumed, these can be loosened with a suitable brush so as then to be removed with absorbent material.

Then the chamber, the breech and the magazine are

free of used oil and are again lubricated slightly with fresh oil. If you are cleaning a repeating gun, you should be sure to make use of a false lock or a simple sleeve such as a plastic tube, in order to prevent the transition to the chamber from being damaged. Additionally, the cham ber is thus sealed o so that no cleaning agent can Uow into the internal box magazine or the foundation. For the internal cleaning, an alkaline gun oil such as Ballistol Universal Oil o ers a clear advantage: the acidic combustion residues were chemically neutralized in an e ective manner and are thus made harmless. Addi tionally, Ballistol Universal Oil o ers reliable rust protection that is com pletely suNcient for normal hunting and shooting conditions. If you do not use too much ammunition and do not go hunting in all types of weather, the described cleaning and maintenance with Ballistol Uni versal Oil, GunCer or Gunex is completely suNcient. 53
However, at least once a year - more often in the case of active gun use - you should subject your gun to a thorough internal cleaning with Robla Solo MIL. You will Gnd details on this in the following chapter.

Cleaning

The cleaning cycle is now repeated with a piece of felt soaked with barrel cleaner and a dry piece of felt until the felt no longer has a bluish or greenish colour. Final ly, the barrel is again protected from rust with a slightly oiled piece of felt. 55

Cleaning

To clean normal deposits,

put some Robla Solo MIL into the barrel and let it run down the barrel while turning it so that the inner walls are moistened with the product as evenly as possible.

Alternatively, a piece of tow

or a felt plug soaked with

Robla Solo MIL can also be

pulled through the barrel. The simplest way to soak the tow or the felt plug is by removing the dosing tip of the cleaner bottle and putting the piece of felt/tow already screwed onto the cleaning rod into the bottle. Subsequently, after a short application time, the material can be pulled through dry in order to wipe the loosened deposits out of the barrel. Fi nally, the barrel should be sprayed in familiar fashion with Ballistol Uni versal Oil or Gunex. If a lot of projectile deposits have already taken hold inside the barrel, advise locking the barrel Grmly on one side with a cork or a rubber plug and Glling the barrel completely with Robla Solo MIL. Depending on the stubbornness of the projectile deposits, you should then leave it for several hours or overnight for the Robla Solo MIL to take e ect. However, the barrel must, without fail, be completely Glled with Robla Solo MIL, including the chamber; under no circumstances should it be partially Glled. If the solution is let out after the application time, its colour alone often 57
shows the success of the clean. Green to blue colouring of the liquid is the indicator of dissolved copper and tombac. Dissolved zinc and lead, in contrast, cannot be seen, as they solvate colourlessly. The barrel is now run through dry and sprayed with Ballistol Universal Oil or Gunex. Run the barrel through dry again before using the gun.

Cleaning

Should the gun be very heavily soiled - whether be cause it has not been cleaned after every use or has often been Gred on successive occasions - particularly thorough treatment is required. In this case, the most e ective solution is to lock the barrel at one end and Gll it completely with Black Powder Solvent. The loosened dirt will then Uow out along with the cleaner. Here, an application time of 10 to a maximum of 30 minutes is to be observed. Whether after the intensive cleaning or the normal cleaning, the barrel and the cylinder must subsequent- ly be dried Grst and then sprayed vigorously with Bal listol Universal Oil. It should be ensured that all areas are adequately moistened with the oil. Only in this way can it be ensured that even the Gnal residues from the pre-treatment have been neutral ized. Since Ballistol Black Powder Solvent is an especially e ective cleaner, never leave a gun that has been treated with it lying for a long time; rath er, you should carry out the post-treatment with Ballistol Universal Oil immediately thereafter. 59
gas channel could not be completely freed of barrel cleaner when the cleaner is let out. Then the residues, in conjunction with humidity and oxygen, would attack the material and lead to corrosion. In the worst case scenario, the system could thus become leaky. Therefore, never Gll up such barrels. Putting in Robla Solo MIL with a piece of barrel cleaning felt will normally suNce; this procedure may have to be repeated. Moreover, care is also needed when cleaning guns with a gas pressure-de layed blowback system. Only cleaning agents with integrated corrosion protection should be used. The reason for this is the breech mechanism, which has small bores (gas withdrawal bores) in the barrel. Part of the pressure operates directly or via a piston - against the return Uow of the breech. Although this mechanism is practical, it involves a problem when it comes to cleaning: residues of the barrel cleaner can penetrate through the bores in the barrel into the breech mechanism. If the bar- rel cleaner does not have integrated corrosion protection or if it does not reach everywhere in the post-treatment, corrosion can arise in the breech mechanism. The best-known guns with a gas pressure-delayed blowback system include the German Volkssturmgewehr VG 1-5 from 1945, the

Steyr GB pistol and the gun series HK P7.

Cleaning

One of the major advantages in using Ballistol Vaseline Gun Grease is that it does not contain any volatile components, preventing the occur- rence of the feared diesel e ect in the compression chamber. In the case of this diesel e ect, residues of old oils and greases on the piston are com pressed so heavily that they self-ignite. This danger exists especially with air riUes with high compression or a high piston speed. Should such a self-ignition occur, the risk of damage is great. In the process, correspond ing combustion residues and oil carbon are, of course, also produced, which, in turn, need to be cleaned. Ballistol Vaseline Gun Grease consists of the Gnest white quality and is outstanding for lubricating all mobile metal parts. Vaseline Gun Grease is extremely easy to use. For selective use, you are best to use a toothpick or a cotton stick. In the case of larger surfaces, it is recommended to apply the grease using a fuzz-free cloth. 61
sponding requirements prefer high-quality BALLISTOL products such as GunCer Ceramic Gun Oil or GunCer Ceramic Gun Grease, which are resin and acid-free and thus fulGl even the highest standards. Should a gun oil not produce the desired cleaning result due to particularly stubborn soiling, special products such as the Ballistol Cold Degreaser, the gun part cleaner or brake and parts cleaners from the BALLISTOL technical range are required. The latter impresses with its physical cleaning performance thanks to the high spray pressure. With mechanical parts such as trigger arresters or safety catches in particular, it is important that old lubricants be removed before fresh oil or grease is applied again - be cause even high-quality lubricants are subject to ageing due to soiling or wear and should therefore be renovated from time to time.

Cleaning

The residues in the rinsing liquid give evidence of the good cleaning re sult. In the event of particularly stubborn soiling, it helps to use a bot- tle brush. The application time is reduced markedly if the cleaner bath is heated up to approximately 30°C-40°C. Subsequently, the silencer needs only be dried and the existing threads perhaps oiled or greased slightly. 65
Care 67
Care In order for you to enjoy the jet black browning of your gun for as long as possible, you should clean the browned parts with extreme care and only with a soft cloth as far as possible. Should the browning get damaged nevertheless, cost-intensive decoction and an expensive rebrowning in the double browning bath is not urgently necessary. Instead, the oxide layer can be easily touched up - with a bit of skill and the Quick Browning from BALLISTOL. It should be noted that only steels with a chrome content of a maximum of 3 to 4% can be browned; the same applies to housing made of aluminium or zinc casting. Coloured metals such as brass or copper contain a dark-grey colouring. 69
cessful experience with Quick Browning can also brown smaller barrels completely. The same applies to individual parts such as screws, nuts and bolts. Should the metal have been previously treated with a silicone-containing oil, it cannot be browned without a corresponding pretreatment. In this case, the surface must Grst be treated multiple times with silicone de greaser to ensure that no silicone residues whatsoever are left on the gun. Subsequently, the sites to be browned are to be ground slightly with Gne steel wool and are to be cleaned very thoroughly with a fuzz-free cloth or paper towel. Caution is needed with some small-calibre riUes such as a few Remington models. Here, a individual gun parts look like they are browned, but in fact they consist of an aluminium alloy or a similar material and are only painted matt black. As these paints are often not oil-resistant, they can quickly become damaged and should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. Here too, however, the barrel and the breech are always made of steel and therefore should always be maintained using Ballistol Universal Oil. Care Oiled stocks must be maintained and oiled regularly so that they remain water-resistant and are protected from decay and mould growth. Balsin Stock Oil and Scherell"s SCHAFTOL can be used for this - two outstanding care agents with which even old, brittle and weathered wooden stocks can be regenerated, maintained and preserved. Balsin Stock Oil, which is perfected with silicone and sol vent, penetrates particularly deep into the wood, thus of- fering a high level of protection and visually emphasizing the woodgrain contrast. With Scherell"s SCHAFTOL, in comparison, only the choic- est natural products at the maximum Gnishing stage are used, with silicone and solvent consistently avoided - nevertheless, Scherell"s SCHAFTOL o ers a high level of resistance to weather-related inUuences. The application sponge from Scherell"s is especially practical; with it, the oil can be applied manually with particular ease. Both with Balsin Stock Oil and with Scherell"s SCHAFTOL, the colours can be mixed with each other, allowing the desired shade to be achieved. Both can be used to treat noble wooden stocks precisely according to your wishes - whether they are made of burr walnut, standard walnut, beechwood or pinewood. Of course, it is not just wooden stocks that the products can be used to treat. The oils are outstanding for caring for furniture, antique woods and natural-wood Uoors and thus prevent wood becoming rough or spotted. 71
Care If the stock to be treated is already visibly weathered and dried out, it should be oiled on several successive days and be left to dry overnight each time. The stock oil can thus penetrate deep into the wood and - if you have opted for treatment with Balsin - the silicone formulation con tained therein can connect on the surface in order to form a water-repel lent layer on the wood. In the event of a comprehensive overhaul of a gun, it should without fail be taken into account that the silicone contained in Balsin can lead to problems in the case of a rebrowning; thus, here it is necessary to workquotesdbs_dbs17.pdfusesText_23
