white fox Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Erm - If you don't clean your gun - your barrels will quickly rust. My advice - Invest in a bore snake. WF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy W Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 If you use a decent cartridge you will only end up with a dust which is easily cleaned out with a wool mop, I do mine after every shoot as well as brushing dust out of action and ejectors with a toothbrush, onlt thing is it makes the toothpaste go grey afterwards. Regarding cartridges I try to use only Victory 480's, if I buy something from the ground such as D & J, you need the bronze brush to shift the debris.

njc110381 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 What I tend to do is squirt a good dose of cleaner down the barrel, leave it for a couple of minutes, then send the bronze brush through a few times (doesn't take long). Then I clear it all out with kitchen roll on a jag and give it a light coat of oil to finish. If you use good cartridges, cleaning shouldn't be too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadkill Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 today i got back from the clay grounds and ran the bronze brush through both barrels then i put oil down them and ran the jag through both after that i ran the mop through then it has now turned a grayish colour .. I cleaned the ejectors with a old toothbrush and gave the gun a general oil all over and polished the woodwork it is now gleaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 My gun safe is in a nice warm room that holds a steady temperature, but I still have a VP90 pouch in it. It's £5 for a year of protection, so well worth it even if it's not really needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
