Townie Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Having nothing better to do while under house arrest, I thought I’d give the Beretta a deep clean. I give it what I thought was a reasonable going over after each outing, but I was deeply ashamed at the muck I removed! It’s probably half a kilo lighter now.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Be careful. It may never shoot like it used to until you get all that weight back on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 When I did the Squires Bingham the other day I couldn't believe how much gunk came out of the trigger group. Don't want to use it now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townie Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 The muck took 25 years to build up, so I suppose I shouldn’t feel too bad. I’m going to have a go at my hammer gun tomorrow and that’s had a century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 😂 I clean mine when they stop running. I’d be ashamed to show you the rags and black slag that comes out of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNKS Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 While on the subject of cleaning, have any of you guys tried Schmierfix grease? I am a sucker for different lubes and after using this I will not use anything else. I know there is conflict as to grease or oil but there is somewhere on most guns where a wipe of grease is best, Marvellous stuff and clean. Great for the boat too as it's salt water proof.

Townie Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 This is the rag from my hammer gun and an old s/s that I had a go at this morning. Much less muck than the Beretta, but there are fewer nooks and crannies and I do take better care of them. Still, I’m not proud of myself.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Don't beat yourself up! I bet the Beretta fires a lot more rounds than the other guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townie Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Ha ha yes. I bet I’ve put more through the Beretta in the last year than the other two combined have had in their entire lives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
