utectok Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Best way to clean a gun is to run a bore snake through it. You're never going to get the gun as clean as when you bought it and if you're going to spend all your life worrying about how clean it is, you'll never fully enjoy a day out shooting with it.

2bangs Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 WD40 a bronze brush, half a dozen scrubs, a bt cloth wrapped around the brush, push through twice, lock the gun back in the safe. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clay Rascal Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi all ,i'm haveing trouble getting the barrel clean on one of my shotguns .I'm useing napier gun cleaner but it doesn't seem to be removing all the muck .So has anyone got any ideas what else i can try .cheers marcus U could try soaking a mop or patch in parker hale 009 push into the chamber to the point of fouling and leave for a couple of days then remove, then use a proper payne gallwey chamber brush which is slightly larger than a bore brush soaked in 009 as per instructions on the spray tin. This worked for my urika 2 optima barrel REGARDS Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuck. Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 It is very true to say that EVERYONE will know the Best way to clean any gun, and pretty much ALL those ways will be different!!!! ...but the Bore Snake was "invented" for shotguns to give it a quick once over in the field to get some of the very corrosive propellent residues off it asap until you could clean it properly!!...Nothing has changed with the Bore snake since then except the Marketing around it!!! ATB!!! a mate told me about the sacred bore snake, never used anything else since. one legia spray down both ends, one run through with the snake ..spotlessly shiny - used to scrub the barrels with the old wire/fluff/cotton-on-a-pole combo like an idiot before i heard of it. boresnakes - so easy it feels like youre cheating as long as its done on the same day therll be no problems, weather your shooting all day in rain, snow or mud.. not a pit on ANY of my barrels and first thing I do after shootin is watch some TV and put my feet up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) A boresnake will not shift leading in a Beretta optimabore barrel , some sort of solvent is needed to soften the lead. How do you educate people on here? http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/gr/pr_boresnake.htm Edited February 24, 2010 by BlaserF3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuck. Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) well it shifts everything out of mine, yours must be special.. mine not being an awesome Beretta oprimabore barrel I couldnt possibly comment about its effectiveness on them Edited February 24, 2010 by Shuck.

BlaserF3 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Shuck, Go to the beginning it's a Beretta optima barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Shuck, I have a Miroku which does not suffer from leading at all it's just the awesome optimore barrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuck. Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I cant understand why a special Beretta barrel would be exempt from the snakes awesomeness, if its smooth and its got two holes, I cant see how it wouldnt be sorted out with a bore snake if you ran it through the same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I don't know why they end up with really bad lead build up, I suspect that it's something to do with the shape of the forcing cone, but it does need to be soaked in solvent to shift it. Mobilchoked Beretta's do not suffer from it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
