I just picked up my newly bought CZ 452 Lux last Sat. This is my first rifle ever bought. What a beautifully made rifle!
I went to the range and shot over 200 shots on Sun. It's very accurate shooting. Now I need to clean my CZ thoroughly. Please give step by step instructions on cleaning. Is there a good video available that you can share? I tried a search on YouTube but didn't have much luck.
For now, I just used a cleaning rod to put a few patches through the barrel. Then, I used a gun cleaning cloth to wipe the gun(barrel outside, stock, etc). I did not disassemble the bolt nor did I cleaning the inside of the chamber/receiver.
Thanks. |

Just cleaned my CZ 452 per the manual and instruction on the solvent bottle. I didn't disassemble the bolt and will wait until I shoot 500 rounds out of it.
Thanks. | |

You should take the bolt out, so you can clean from the breech end. | |

Yes. I took the bolt out and used a bore guide and inserted the rod from the rear.
But I didn't take the bolt apart and clean it this time. Tks. | |

From the better living through chemistry book, there're several good light lubricating oils that also preventing rust, dissolving carbon and help drain metal dust.
I use TSI 301, but there're others better known and with a more numerous user community, from whom you can get recommendations. | |

Thanks for the suggestion.
I used Shooter's Choice FP-10 gun oil to protect/lubricate the inside of barrel and the outside of bolt. And I used gun cleaning cloth (moistured with some oil?) to clean the outside of barrel and stock, bolt, etc.
Next time, I'll dissassemble the bolt and clean it. | |

I suggested a good cleaner/lubricant as a way to avoid dis-assembly of the bolt.
Simply put a drop or two of FP-10 into the firing pin hole, stand the bolt with firing pin hole up to allow the C/L to coat the length. After a few minutes, reverse the bolt so it stands on the firing pin hole end, to allow any excess C/L to drain out along with any carbon and metal dust.
This will keep the bolt clean and in working order. You'll have to do a major dis-assembly and cleaning but using this system will cut the frequency.
Were you able to get the owners manual from CZ?
Apparently, somewhere on this site there's a 452 cleaning video. | |

The owner's manual comes with the rifle, which I bought brand new. I've been to the range twice and shot over 400 shots so far. I just love the 452. Very smooth and accurate.
Maybe after 200 more shots I'll dissassemble the bolt but in between I'll just use FP-10 to drop thru the fire pin hole.
Thanks. | |
