    The title should have been how to clean a barrel.

      um, some of my buddies who shoot thousands of rounds a year never clean their shotty's. So who cares? I once saw a video of professional shooters doing a "how to" video of how they clean their shot guns and basically all they did was shoot some Gun Scrubber down the barrel over a trash can. Boom done. Thank you! lol I think most guns will outlast us no matter how their cleaned.

    I have a brand new Remington 870 field master I have only shot 7 target loads through it and I went to clean it and the patches keep on coming out a brown color and I let the break free clp set for about 25 minutes and I repeated this for 3 times and they are still coming out brown I used the bronze brush in between the patches and it doesent help but I looked inside the barrel with a bore light and it looks completely clean ?

      You can use a rod with a patch on it and spray bore cleaner and run it just like he does in this video. Run a few patches through to make sure that there is no excess bore cleaner/ oil in your barrel

    • @jamesp739
      @jamesp739 Před 4 měsíci

      The first "brush" he used to clean the barrel is more correctly called a bore mop. They are gauge/caliber specific so if you purchase one, be sure to get one matched to the gauge of your shotgun.

    Hello! Thank you for the great video. I have a question. Do you remove any excess oil from inside the barrel before using your shotgun? I read a few articles saying you shouldn't shoot the gun with oil in the barrel. I am trying to figure out if it is valid or simply being nit-picky.

    • @johnsmith-lx9lw
      @johnsmith-lx9lw Před rokem

      No just put a lot of grease in the barrel so the shots slide out easy.

    • @dgunearthed7859
      @dgunearthed7859 Před rokem +3

      don't listen to him....I personally use G96. It's a clp. So just make sure the inner or outter barrel isn't dripping in oil/clp, and you should be good to go. I think if you were to use HIS method, and you cleared the barrel of excess oil and then threw a bore snake through it with a "mist-ing" of G96 on it, you would protect the inner barrel until you use it and you would not need to clear the barrel. I mean it takes another 2 seconds to put something dry through the barrel before you shoot it and you're good to go. Don't over-think it friend. ;-)

    in the final step where you apply oil! You grabbed the Rem Oil in the first shot(@4:48), but in the second shot you had the orange bottle of something applying to the cloth(@4:50)! Was that Hoppe's Oil or ??? I was legitimately watching your technique and happened to notice that. Thank you for the video!
