mudpatten Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Carrying out the manufacturers instructions regarding running in is something I`ve always done. I`m always slightly mystified by those who decline to do it in the same way as I`m slightly mystified by those who openly state that they hardly ever clean their semi auto.(The same people?) If you think that neither has any importance, try wording the advert for it`s sale at some point in the future as " Improperly run in in direct contravention of the manufactureres instructions and hardly ever cleaned." and see how that affects the resale value. Where abouts in Hampshire are you? One solution to using heavy cartridges at a clay ground is not to tell them. I think they may be referring to use in competitions rather than simply using them. They won`t shoot any further or cause any other issues to the ground, wadding apart. Edited March 17, 2015 by mudpatten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepThought Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think the regulations are about noise abatement more than anything. If need be I'll just drive to a place that will let me use them. I'm sure it won't make the remotest difference but if I follow Beretta's instructions then at least I've done my bit if anything goes wrong in the future.

CharlesP Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 There was a thread on a US forum asking how often people cleaned their auto. A surprising number of owners proudly proclaimed that they did it after the end of the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver90owner Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) They, the manufacturers, are covering their 'a s s'. Covering the worst likely scenario. They don't want the owner of a nice shiny new gun taking it back because it is not cycling properly during the first hundred cartridges. Better to avoid the potential problem than educate a green gun, along with the possible bad press from that green gun. If an experienced gun was using light loads and there was an initial early missed-cycle they would simply substitute a heavier load, without any hassle or complaint, for a while - and only return the gun if it continued to play up after a considerabe number of cycles. Think here - for subsonic muzzle velocity, the time taken for the whole load to exit the barrel is less than 6ms from ignition, only 4ms for 1500fps velocity; average pressure over any particular acceleration time has to increase in direct proportion to the total mass of the load (Newton's second law of linear motion). Any slight hesitation in the mechanism starting to cycle can shorten the operation time to below the minimum required. Stevo was blunt but honest. Nuthin' wrong with that. It was needed, to get some attention, where the OP was clearly still unsure from the replies received.

wymberley Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) As previously posted, I don't understand this. There's certainly no mention of it (as far as I can see) in my Maxus manual. Excluding O90O's opening point on the previous post which makes sense, does anyone have a sound technical reason for it?
