Gun Care: Clean, protected, reliable
Powder residue, lead, moisture and fingerprints all take their toll on your firearm. With regular gun care you prevent rust, maintain accuracy and spot wear in good time. Here you will find everything for rifle, shotgun and handgun: bore cleaner, Teflon gun oil and gun grease, cleaning kits, brushes, stock oil, bluing products and stock sleeves for storage.
Cleaning barrel and action
After shooting, first remove powder and lead residue from the barrel. A bore cleaner or the lead and powder remover loosens the deposits, and with a brush and cleaning rod you get them out. The cleaning kits for rifle, shotgun and handgun contain everything for your calibre, while the 32-piece cleaning kit in its case covers all calibres. Adapters make sure brushes and rods fit every thread. Finally, give the barrel a thin coat of Teflon gun oil.
Caring for stock and metal
A wooden stock benefits from occasional care with stock oil, available in light, medium and dark brown, which protects the wood from moisture. Small scratches on blued metal parts can be touched up with bluing gel or a cold bluing set. Lubricate moving parts with Teflon gun grease. For storing and transporting dismantled guns, there are matching stock sleeves for shotgun, rifle and combination guns.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I clean my hunting rifle?
After every shooting session and at the latest after a rainy day out. Even if you have not fired, it is worth wiping the gun dry and oiling it lightly before it goes back into the cabinet.
Do I need to remove the oil from the barrel before shooting?
Yes, an oily barrel can shift the first shot slightly. Run a dry patch through before shooting, and your first shot will land where you expect it.
How do I touch up scratches in the bluing?
Clean and degrease the spot thoroughly, apply the bluing gel thinly and let it work briefly. Then wipe it off, neutralise it and oil the area lightly so it does not rust.
Care products for rifle and shotgun
A well-kept gun is a safe gun. After every shooting session, remove powder and lead residue with bore cleaner and a brush, then a thin coat of Teflon gun oil protects the barrel from rust. If you are new to it, a beginner's care set or a cleaning kit for rifle, shotgun or handgun is a good choice. For several guns and calibres, the large cleaning kit in its case is worthwhile. Look after wooden stocks with stock oil, while bluing gel and cold bluing sets touch up small spots on blued parts. Teflon gun grease keeps moving parts running smoothly. Finally, store the gun dry in the cabinet or dismantled in a stock sleeve. With this routine your gun stays accurate and accompanies you reliably on your ground for many years. A few minutes after each outing are all it takes.
