The bolt
for your TUBB 2000 is packed
separately. To insert the
bolt you must first remove the
buttstock assembly.
To
disassemble the rifle to get it
ready for initial use, loosen the
screw located at the rear of the
sight mounting rail using a 5/32
inch allen wrench. This screw
needs only to be snug: do not
overtighten! Its only function is
as secondary security in
retaining the buttstock
assembly.
Locate the
knurled catch on the rear of the
action above the pistol grip.
Slide the latch down toward the
grip and pull the buttstock
assembly rearward and remove
it.
We
recommend now running a couple of
patches through the bore to
remove any residues that might
have resulted from shipping and
handling.
Insert
the bolt and replace the
buttstock assembly. The bolt
release is located on the left
side of the action. To prevent
wear from continued
disassembly/assembly we recommend
cleaning and lightly lubricating
the interior portion of the
buttstock assembly that mates to
the receiver. Depressing the
catch when reattaching the
buttstock will help prevent
unnecessary wear to the latching
mechanism.
Assuming
the rifle will be dry-fired a
number of times prior to live
firing, there is no need to
lubricate the action and bolt
mating surfaces initially --
however, make sure all surfaces
which attain metal-to-metal
contact receive lubrication prior
to firing the rifle with live
ammunition. The initial
dry-firing and bolt operation
without lubrication will serve to
provide "break in" of the parts.
Prior to firing, remove the bolt,
wipe down its exterior, and apply
lubrication to the lugs and body.
The firing pin may also be
lubricated with a high quality
oil.
