CARE
AND FEEDING OF YOUR BROWNING GOLD DOMINATOR NPS
There
is no intensive or special service/cleaning needed to insure your blaster
functions 100%. Normal cleaning will keep your gun running. However, a few
notes of interest should be adhered to.
- When
disassembling the gun-lock the bolt back, unscrew the magazine cap, remove
mag spring, forearm brace (the black tube), then the forearm stock. With
the long one piece tube, you must remove the piston and piston sleeve with
the barrel. After cleaning, lube the tube and piston (inside and out) with
a light coat of light oil, such as Rem oil, then re-assemble in reverse
order. (Note-some guns may have a recoil spring plug installed. I recommend
you do not use these unless you are using a short aluminum shell follower.
The standard plastic follower makes it more difficult to load the 8th round
with the plug installed). The mag tube is anodized aluminum, with an aluminum
ring midway that absorbs the majority of the gas pressure. This tube should
last indefinitely, with only the gold ring having to be replaced ($5.00)
after apprx. 5000 rounds. Oh-clean the gunk off the tube and inside the
barrel manifold, using bore cleaner or carb cleaner. Don't use any abrasive
cleaner, this will remove the Titanium Nitride coating.
- Lubing
the bolt/bolt carrier-this is the heart of your blaster. Make sure mating
surfaces are free of grime and grit. You will notice many polished areas.
Lube these areas with a light coat of FP or similar lubricant, to include
the hammer cocking fork and inside the bolt carrier sides and rails.
- Trigger
group-After cleaning, lube the front of the hammer, hammer notch, shell
carrier release stud plate, and any other place that looks shiny.
- Shoot
the gun-the more you shoot it, the better it will function. These guns are
tested with Remington or similar 2 ¾ Dram Equiv. 1 1/8 oz. shot loads. Remember,
a lighter shot load changes the dwell time the gas has to operate the piston.
Heavier is fine, lighter is not.
-
Disclaimer-some guns have already been modified before I get my paws on
them. I have done my best to insure all parts function correctly. However,
some barrels have had their gas ports opened to function with the piston
they come with. I do not recommend changing gas pistons to make those guns
function with lighter loads. This changes the timing/dwell and will make
for a bad day at the range. And for those of you who like to grind on parts-i.e.-the
shell carrier. Don't do it. I have lightened them significantly so you won't
get "carrier bounce" which may prevent the shell from smoothly transitioning
onto the carrier, then to the chamber. Also-adding a different fore end
stock can/may change the amount of gas the piston uses, or just not provide
the proper clearance for the gas piston.
Any
questions, don't hesitate to call me at 931-232-6509, or Cell 931-801-9105.
Good shooting.
