Cleaning and Adjustments for the Hammerli 208s Cleaning and Adjustments for the Hammerli 208s Back to This text originally appeared in the for the. During the Dixie Matches held in Florida in March 2000, Mr.

Larry Carter of Larry’s Guns spent some time with the Air Force National Pistol Team members discussing the care and cleaning of the Hammerli 208s. He described both basic and detailed cleaning and maintenance as well as adjustments to the trigger. The detailed cleaning/care involves punching out pins and disassembling the internal parts. This should not be done soley from notes, and is only necessary on a semi-annual or annual basis, depending on how much shooting is done.

Berger Lahr Twin Line Software. Therefore, detailed notes will not be covered in this document. Carter emphasized that NO chemicals or cleaners should be used for any portion of the cleaning of the 208s pistol. He further emphasized that oil must NOT be allowed into the hammer/sear region as this will wash away the special Moly lubrication, which will cause sear wear. The detailed care may be necessary if any contaminants enter the hammer/sear region or if the first stage of the trigger starts feeling as though it drags. Basic cleaning should be done after each match.

For cleaning, the materials/lubricants used were: a. One specially formed brass brush. This brush is used to clean the chamber.

It is made by bending a.25 caliber bore brush at a right angle so that the tip length matches the length of an empty.22 case. One M16 style cleaning brush (toothbrush style with smaller brush at end of handle). Cotton swabs to use for cleaning and for lubrication. D..22 caliber patches. Cleaning cloth.

A mechanic's cloth is recommended. Nylon cord such as weedeater line or similar. This will be used to PULL cleaning patches through the bore. Prepare one end of the cord by melting it so that it clears the bore but will hold on to patches. Form the other end into a point that will easily pierce the.22 caliber patches.

CLP type lubricant. Molybdenum (Moly) grease which does NOT contain graphite. Steps involved in cleaning the 208s: a. Disassemble the pistol far enough to remove the slide. Remove the grips.

Remove the trigger bar spring and the bar itself. Note that the spring is supposed to be bent to the side. Do NOT attempt to straighten it. Additionally, the curve should be circular. If the spring is flat or the curved area has a flat section on top, replace the spring. If there is a buildup of debris under the ejector, carefully remove the recoil spring by pushing in on the end with a small flat blade screwdriver and turning so that the post clears the slot in the frame.
