THE ACCURACY OUTFITTER

We are fortunate to have Kenny Jarrett as a Member of the SCI Low Country Chapter.  Kenny is well know among serious riflemen and hunters around the world as the "Father of the Beanfield Rifle." 

He was Championship Benchrest rifle shooter and a number of his Benchrest Records still stand today.  He knows how to build extremely accurate and reliable hunting rifles. 

Kenny has kindly offered to share some tips on proper rifle cleaning and cold weather hunt preparations.  This is the same information that he presents in his Gun Cleaning Seminars each year at the SCI National Conventions.

To learn more about ordering your own Jarrett rifle, or booking a hunt on Kenny's 10,000 acre Cowden plantation, give Kenny a call at 803-471-3616 or visit his website at www.jarrettrifles.com

 TRIGGER MAINTENANCE

 

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD BE DONE AT EVERY OTHER CLEANING OR WHEN THE RIFLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO A LOT OF MOISTURE.

1. PLACE THE RIFLE IN A PADDED VISE AT A HORIZONTAL POSITION, REMOVE THE BOLT AND SQUIRT LIGHTER FLUID INTO THE TRIGGER. LETTING IT DRIP OUT THE BOTTOM.

2. REINSTALL BOLT AND DRY FIRE-SEVERAL TIMES THIS WHOLE PROCEDURE SHOULD BE PREFORMED AT LEAST TWICE.

3. LET THE LIGHTER FLUID EVAPORATE, THEN REINSTALL BOLT.

4. CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE THE LIGHTER FLUID WITH ANY OTHER SOLVENT. THE LIGHTER FLUID WASHES AWAY MOISTURE AND FOREIGN MATERIAL AND LEAVES A MICROSCOPIC LUBE COATING.

 

EXTREME COLD TREATMENT

 

1. REMOVE BOLT FROM THE RIFLE, ATTACH A FIRING PIN ASSEMBLY REMOVAL TOOL (WE SELL THEM) AND SIMPLY UNSCREW THE WHOLE FIRING PIN ASSEMBLY.  IT ALL COMES OUT TOGETHER AND NO PARTS TO FALL OFF OR LOSE.

2. PURCHASE A CAN OF AEROSOL BRAKE CLEANER AT THE PARTS STORE, SPRAY THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY  SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL YOU ARE  SATISFIED ALL LUBRICANTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

3. LET IT COMPLETELY DRY AND REINSTALL IT IN THE BOLT BODY AND REMOVE TOOL.

4. DO THE TRIGGER CLEANING PROCEDURE THOROUGHLY.

DON'T FORGET TO RE-LUBE THE FIRING PIN ASSEMBLY AFTER YOUR COLD WEATHER HUNT.
