Proper way to clean my shotgun?
I have a benelli supernova tactical shotgun which I have taken to the range and fired maybe 30 rounds through or so (buckshot and slugs). I purchased a remington universal cleaning kit, I'm just curious what are the steps to clean my gun?
Of course I know how to take off the barrel and such.
I just don't know the order of things to do, when do I use the bore cleaning solvent, the patches, the bronze brush, etc.?
Do I need to worry about scratching anything? I would assume steel is harder than bronze... but I want to make sure.
Does the order even really matter? Or should I just use the brush until the big chunks of wad and lead oare gone and then use the patch with solvent to finish the job?
Make sure you are unloaded.. really...unloaded
break down your shotgun
swab bore with patch and solvent... set it aside... and let the solvent work
clean out action and camber... rags , brass tooth brush, old nylon tooth brushes Q tips etc. Get all the carbon and old oil out. If the trigger group is mounted with pins drop it out and oil or grease the contact parts after cleaning. Dont take the trigger group apart...you will probably be able to get to everything without it...plus they are pretty hard to assemble without some skills and tools.
Re-lube moving parts...
Now go after that bore with the bronze bore brush... at least 10 passes.
Swab out with solvent and patch... repeat till patch comes out clean.
Swab bore with light coat of oil
Put your shotgun back together and do a fuction check.
Scratches... not from any cleaning brushes... but if your gun requires screws to be turned get a set of gunsmiths screw drivers... they will save the screw slots. Work on padded surface and use common sense to avoid marring your firearm
