INITIAL CLEANING
Various exposed metal parts of your new BT-99 have been coated
at the factory with a rust preventative compound. Before assembling
your BT-99, clean the anti-rust compound from the inside of the
barrel and chamber, and generally wipe clean the metal surfaces at
the rear of the forearm, on the barrel lug and the interior areas of
the receiver, as well as any other parts coated with this compound.
Browning Oil is ideal for wiping and cleaning these parts and for
giving your gun its first lubrication.
Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as explained under
“Cleaning Suggestions.” Read this entire manual before performing
the first cleaning, to learn necessary information on breaking open
the action, etc.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
BEFORE BEGINNING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS, ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN
THERE IS NO SHELL IN THE CHAMBER.
1 After wiping the mechanism clean, place one or two drops of a
quality oil, like Browning Oil, on the following surfaces (Figures 3-A,
