dpile1 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I've just bought a lovely new 12g o/u shotgun and I'd like to make sure that it stays in top condition. It's got a oiled wood stock see photo: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm181/dpile1/DSCN5494.jpg and standard type barrels. I've got like a rod thingy with a fleece type attachment for internal barrel cleaning. All I do at present is spray the outside of the barrels with Napier Gun Oil, then wet the fleecy thing with Napier Oil and run it through the barrels til they're sparkling. I've got some walnut oil on order to do the stock periodically. Is there anything else I should be doing to keep the shotty in top condition? What do you fellas do to keep your guns in tip top shape?

RhiannonBW Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The advice I was given is don't over-oil your gun, and store it barrels downward on a piece of absorbent rag so any excess oil doesn't creep into the mechanisms or stock.

dan browning gts Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 try not to put oil on the face because it (over time) will clog all your action up and as for the whallnut oil just do it once a month dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
