Good job mate. Not a speck. I'm going to spend a few hours on mine as there's plenty of shit to remove. The factory grease that they used is like a cherry red gunky shit especially in the two holes where the lockup pins go home. It's got to go. I tried removing it before and got most out but knowing it's still there is annoying me after watching your meticulous work.

[danebrewer10]

@ColonelAllan no problem, yeah that shipping grease is a pain, you'll keep discovering it for a while as it works its way out of nooks and crannies, I do like to keep my guns spotless, I don't get people who don't clean their guns at all, look after a beretta and it'll go on forever!

@fishblade2 oh forgot to mention also the gun has something that looks like some a clear lube of some sort on the outside of the bolt. Not too sure what that is for or what it is? (This is a pump shotgun if this makes a difference).

[fishblade2]

question for cleaning. I just wanted to know how the oiling should be done on the gun? I just bought a new super nova pump and the shotgun at first look is completely dry in the gun and after 150 rounds the powder residue was barely visible. I know that there should be oil somewhere on the gun for metal rubbing but every other shotgun I've done this with causes the gun to clog up very quickly with powder residue. Any suggestions on this?

I admire your meticulous nature. The devil is in the details, yes?

Good video though!

Great tutorial. Thanks for the detailed step-by-step. Going hunting for ruffed grouse next weekend after not having hunted for 15-20 years. Pulled Dad's gun's out of the safe (12 gauge side-by-side, 20 bolt, and a .410 bolt) and figured I'd give them a good cleaning before I start using them. None are high end, but they're in good shape, and have sentimental value. Better get in a few rounds at the range before I go as well. Again, thanks for the great instruction.
