Ultra Mag - Clean-up

sabotloader · 04-23-2006, 12:59 PM

Now I know it is suppose to be a "labor of love" - well for me it ain't... A "labor of love" teaching, coaching a football or baseball game, being in the woods, hunting, riding a 4-wheeler, playing with my grandkids, and of course shooting.... those are "labors of love" so you can see cleaning is way down the list...

Well, this morning I did - I cleaned the Ultra Mag... I know because it is stainless that helps, all of my inlines are SS except one that is nickel. Well this was probably the easiest cleanup job I have ever done, far easier even than the Omega. Will not even bring upthe Remingtons.

Removing the bolt, taking the bolt apart, cleaning the pieces is areally easy. Re-assembly is quick and easy. Flushing the trigger group is even easy...

My perception that iseasy to clean is going to out-weigh my perception that it is a dirty gun on the range - so I can see it going to the range alot right now.

And I should say - thanks to Underclocked and Cayugad, although Cayugad if you ever come out here introduce yourself to Terry as Dave notCayugad...

Almost asked you last night if you had cleaned it yet. Shoot the fool out of 'er!

Sabotloader you said that flushing the trigger group was easy. How do you go about this? What chemicals and steps do you use?

I remove the bold trigger by taking the screw out of the barrel. Pay attention not to loose the screw that puts it all back together. I then put the entire trigger assembly in hot dish soapy water and brush it off real good, and swirling it around. After that I rinse it with real hot water and shake it out. I then take some aerosol spray gun solvent cleaner which not only cleans any parts but acts as a drying agent, and spray the trigger down, inside and out. WD-40 would act as a drying agent but I do not like using it on triggers. After spraying it down, I shake it out real good and wipe it off. You will notice it is dry now. I then put a drop of oil into the top of the trigger by the black trigger trip and into the back side of the trigger I put a drop onto the internal working of the trigger. I also wipe the outside out with a oil patch.

After you install the breech plug, then you put the trigger assembly back in placebefore you put the hammer, cocking lever, spring and finally the locking lug (in that order). The gun is now assembled....

Pretty much ditto everything Cayugad has given you... The only differences - instead of shaking it dry -I blow the trigger out with compressed air - either from a can or walk out in the shop and use the air compressor. it really is an easy operation. Once the barreled action id removed from the stock you remove one allen head screw...

Follow Cayugad's re-assembly instructions...
