Some people love to clean their guns and some people hate it. I’ve always been in the former group. I enjoy spending the time on them, I get a feeling of accomplishment, and it’s good to know that everything is in good working order. Then again, I use a different method than the gentleman in the video above. Maybe he’s a member of the second group, someone who looks at gun cleaning as drudgery and a necessary evil and just wants to get ‘er done as quickly as possible.
How do you clean your shotgun and how often?
He must have learned gun cleaning from Tampon Tim.
me, i break it down almost completely, pump action, there are the rails, bolt, inside the receiver, barrel and mag tube….sounds like a lot, but it does not take long….youu can say i am over doing it, like people say about my automotive oil change habits, but you do you
When I owned the Mossy 500 folder, cleaning was a bronze brush down the bore followed by a cotton mop soaked in Ee-Zoxx…
Looks like that’s how he cleaned his teeth too…
Some get disassembled and cleaned properly.
A couple get brake cleaner, air hose then a spritz of WD
A tall can of Bud Lite because it has “scrubbing bubbles.”
You have to clean them?
(I laughed out loud at your comment Dude!)
I clean my shotguns after every time I fire them (unless I’m hunting for a few days and immediately on my return). I’m pretty conventional. Hoppes with cleaning rod and patches, scrub with a copper bore brush, use a bore snake to wipe out. Clean the area around the firing pins by hand. Light oil outside and inside with Rem Oil. Use a special brush to clean the barrel porting.
My uncle hosed his Browning A5 down with wD40 at the end of duck season and put it in the closet. Year after year. He also shot heavy reloads that eventually cracked the receiver so he welded it and shot it until it cracked again.
I am in the second camp that I do not like cleaning my firearms.
How I clean my shotgun depends on what I have been doing. I have been shooting plastic sabots out of my rifled slug barrel, I apply a solvent to the barrel which can remove plastic fouling and then proceed to run a brash brush and/or patches through the barrel until clean. Last two passes are a patch with heavy oil and then a patch with no oil.
I honestly have not put enough shells through my shotgun to justify disassembling the receiver and cleaning the internals so I have nothing to add in that regard. (Hint: shooting 300 grain slugs with 2,000 feet-per-second muzzle velocity out of a light pump-action shotgun generates brutal recoil and bruises your shoulder–it is next-to-impossible to shoot more than a few dozen of those over the course of a few decades.)
Clean them?
You can clean them and like use it again?
Jeez, Iβve just been buying new ones!
