INSTALLATION TIPS



Removal of Barrel:

1.  Loosen barrel band screw (B-69) & slide off barrel band (B-68);

2. Remove wood stock screw (B-65) from receiver (B-1); 

3. Put safety in center position & remove barrel/receiver unit from stock

4. Remove 2 Allen-head screws (B-67) from V-Block (B-66);

5. Remove barrel from receiver.


Installation of the WhistlePig Bull Barrel:

1.  Requires a new bull- barrel stock or modify factory stock;

2.  Fitting the new barrel into the receiver should be a snug fit.  The barrel end (shankis machined slightly oversized.   If the barrel is anodized, it will add thickness.  If too tight, first oil the shank, bottom of the barrel between the V-block and shank area and where the barrel fits into the receiver side. If still too tight, sand the shank with the supplied emery cloth strip, sanding the shank evenly around.  Do a little sanding at a time.  Oil the shank and receiver port again and try to insert the barrel into the receiver.  If still too tight, repeat the process;

3.  Re-install V-Block with Allen-head screws with an equal amount of torque;

4.  Re-install barrel and receiver in the bull-barrel stock with the bolt in the locked position.


Cleaning the Barrel Liner:

Use a cotton swab or patch with solvent and push it through the bore with a cleaning rod or a weed-wacker line with a cotton cloth on one end.  For wire, we recommend a BoreSnake.
 

Cleaning Matte, Brushed & Polish Finishes:

Matte Finish - The barrel is glass beaded to produce a matte finish.  Gun oil is applied to the barrel prior to shipment.  If you get any smudges or fingerprints on the barrel after the installation, apply some additional oil with a soft cloth and then remove the excess oil with a clean, dry cloth or wash the barrel with dish soap and a soft brush and re-oil.
Brushed Finish - use a 3M Scotch Brite #07447 (maroon color) or steel wool to renew the finish and re-oil.

Polished Finish – to renew the shine, use a Mag/Aluminum Wheel polish (like Mother’s brand)


.17 HM2 Recommendations Based on User Feedback:

We recommend only Hornaday and CCI V-Max brands.  We do not recommend using Eley or the Remington Premier Ammo due to a different and higher propellant cartridge which may cause ruptured casing.  The EABCO weighted bolt handle was tested with all factory components.  We do not recommend the use of a soft polyurethane bolt buffer.  This may disrupt the cycling and cause cartridge jams.  An auto bolt release may also lock the bolt open after every few rounds.  Re-install the factory bolt release.  Clean the barrel (liner) at least every 50 rounds.
 
.17 HMR Recommendations Based on User Feedback:

Due to a timing issue, we do not recommend the use of a soft polyurethane bolt buffer Use only the factory steel buffer pin or a hard polyurethane pin.  Weak guide rod spring (bolt handle part) and hammer spring may also need to be replaced.  Clean the barrel (liner) at least every 50 rounds.


Disclaimer:  All caliber barrels were tested with factory receiver components unless noted otherwise.  Any third-party replacement parts to the bolt and trigger assemblies may affect the functionality and performance of the barrel.
