As the Glorious Twelfth is fast approaching along with only a week until the Paris Olympics kicks-off, it's the perfect time to ensure your gun is clean and ready for the season to start or for any clay practice you'll be participating in beforehand.
Cleaning your gun is extremely simple and can be done in just six 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.
