Nel Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm a total noobie to shotguns & i bought a bisley kit for cleaning. This one: http://www.swillingtonshootingsupplies.co....G-CLEANING-KIT/ I'm not sure what everything is for & how to use it & in which order! How often would i need to clean the gun? I have a Browning 352 grade1 if that makes any difference. Any help would be great. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm a total noobie to shotguns & i bought a bisley kit for cleaning. This one: http://www.swillingtonshootingsupplies.co....G-CLEANING-KIT/ I'm not sure what everything is for & how to use it & in which order! Just my personal way....... 1 - Dismantle and use a ball of loo roll to clean out the tubes, no need to use anything but the rods. Check to see how much more dirt and any streaking(lead/plastic) 2 - Bore cleaner down the tubes and wait. I have ss tubes in mine so I don`t use it unless I have a lot of fouling. 3 - Scrub if necessary with the brush. 4 - Use the brass jag with a patch on it to remove dirt and cleaning fluid, have another look and if necessary do it again ! 5 - Lightly oil the wool mop and pass down each tube. 6 - If a multichoke clean the choke tubes. 7 - Clean action, lube hinge pins(light grease) and ejectors(small amount of oil). 8 - Lightly oil outer face of action and breech end of barrels and assemble these two together, then lightly oil outer surface of barrels. Attach fore-end and wipe off any excess oil. How often would i need to clean the gun? Everytime ! I have a Browning 352 grade1 if that makes any difference. Any help would be great. thanks :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I agree with Henry almost to the letter. I don't worry about the ball of loo paper first I just spray some napier gun cleaner down the bores and put to one side while I clean the action and forend. I then scrup the bores with a bronze brush and rod. I then use napier superclean patches on a roll to wipe them out until dry and clean. Hold up to the light and see if there is anything left in there. If there is repeat as necessary. I then remove the choke tubes and clean them and the threads in the barrels. A wipe with light grease and put them back in. the hinge pin and forend bearing have a tiny ammount of grease as well as the bite for the top lever bolt. I then reassemble the gun and wipe all over with a rag which has a quick squirt of napier gun oil on it. leaving a very fine film of oil on it. This is then rewiped when I go out again. I don't do this everytime I use my gun as I might use it about 3 or 4 times a week at the moment. But I will always do it if I have been out in the rain or at least once a week. Sorry if this reads like an advert for Napier products but I do find them the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
