Sean R Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I've rescently invested in a new Browning 525 Sporter. I do a lot of regular clay shooting but also spend a fair amount of time in the field. What would you recommend for me to use to clean and lubricate my gun??

beatingisbest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Oil, Aerosol ones are useful i find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 the 525 should have an oiled stock, again dont over do it one coat should see you through a few months. now the rest of the gun dry lube all the way, from the hinge pin, side block, to the tubes. grease will pick up all kinds of dust and act as a grinding paste on any moving parts. i have the same gun as well as others, no wear no problems, any more info give me a shout.

the last engineer Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 not sure what one you guys use there, just make sure its a graphite/moly base S02 spray on dry lube as shown Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Don't use grease as it will build up all the dirt of the day. I use an spray oil that does not build up into a gum if left. Not to much but do it often. There are lots of good wood oils out there, get a stock oil if unsure but the stock will most likely need a light rub after each use. If it get wet, let dry in room temp for a while before oiling. Otherwise the moisture may play against the oil and make a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
