Fred Whitehurst talks gun cleaning –
Cleaning a Gun in Six Simple Steps:
- Dismantle the gun and wipe down with a cloth to remove any grease from handling the gun.
- Spray barrel cleaning solution down the barrels and leave for a few minutes.
- Run through both barrels with a phosphor bronze brush to remove the debris.
- Use a mop to remove any further debris left within the barrels.
- Wipe down the action and grease all of the moving parts to reduce wear on the gun.
- It is also a good idea to remove the chokes from the gun, clean them and grease when putting them back in. Using grease instead of oil for the chokes means that they are less likely to come loose when shooting.
I would advise that you clean your gun after every time it has been shot, as there may be moisture left in the barrels of the cartridges. This kind of damp can cause rust in the barrels.
Thanks Fred, top tips! There are many different gun cleaning accessories available from Beretta. GMK, Perazzi, Purdey and more. Fancy a browse? Head over to The Sporting Lodge.
