What is the best way to use an ACME crow call? I was given one as a present, but when I use it (as per the instructions) it sounds (to my ear at least) more like a duck than a crow.

Thanks for that - I'll remember 'boresnake' ! In future I'll pull through from the chamber end. Also, in NI a FAC is required not SGC.

Hi, I'm new to shooting and PW forum. I have recently obtained my FAC and purchased a new Beretta 686E Black Sporting 12g 30" with mobilchoke. So far I have only fired the gun on a small number of sessions, but after each session have cleaned and oiled it. For cleaning the barrels I have used what can best be described as a giant tampon (with a spiral brass brush section) to which is attched a weighted shoe lace. I have passed this device through each barrel two or three times until any visible residue is removed form the barrel lining (from the discharge end to the chamber end). I have applied a small quantity of gun oil to the 'tampon' before cleaning. I have also applied a small quantity of Browing spray gun oil to the firing mechanism (at least all that is externally visible). Finally I have wiped an oil cloth on the external barrel surfaces. My question is am I doing the right thing, if not what else/alternatives should I be doing, and what should I do/use to preserve the woodwork? Any help advice would be much appreciated. Ian M
