ElvisThePelvis Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) That is my question... I have been lead to beleive that having the gun too clean is a mistake but would value other people's experiences. I have a Hushpower .410 which has probably had 200 cartridges through it and it's getting pretty dirty (Eley cartridges ...) when I bought the gun I was told to let it 'coke up' and it would become quieter. Should I clean this gun at all, or just use and abuse, I'm hoping it will continue to get quieter over time. Thanks Edited June 17, 2016 by ElvisThePelvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Clean the gun, but not the moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Clean the moderator regularly and correct any corrosion issues that may arise as it can be a moisture trap. Threads are likely to become clogged solid too making removal nigh on impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornet86 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Been wondering this myself, I have a baikal single shot in 20g with full length mod but can't for the life of me remove it so it's just the barrel that gets cleaned for now.

db135 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 My mossberg 410 hushpower has had about 500 cartridges since I bought it new never cleaned it at all so far can see it a right chuw to get silencer unscrewed thinking of soaking the inside with this stuff we clean egr valves and throttle bodies on diesels at work devolves the carbon without damaging and metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornet86 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I have the same in .410, the moderator unscrews Is it just a case of removing the Allen screw underneath and getting angry with it ? I'm guessing mine wasn't removed and cleaned that often if it's welded on with crud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I screw my hushpower Mossberg 410 silencer off after every outing and clean the barral inside and out. I leave the silencer If you don't it will get welded to the barral.as you take it off it still leaves carbon on the inside of silencer but leaves a good coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
