Keep Living Target Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)

If your choke tube is frozen in the barrel, get you a medicine bottle or cup that will be long enough to cover the threads. Then get some kroil, fill the cup or bottle, stick the barrel upside down inside the cup or bottle. Leave it for 2 to 4 days. When you come back the choke tube will unscrew out the barrel.
...or PB Blaster....
When I do that, when I come back, it has unscrewed itself and is laying in the bottom of the container!
This does teach me something intelligent, use gloves when cleaning the weapon, which I don't even see in car mechanics, great job. Congratulations for the personal protection.👍👍👍
Steve, thanks for the video, specifically cleaning the gas port/block and the choke tubes. Getting more into sporting clays and glad to learn more about correct technique to maintain semi auto shotgun.
The boretech 12ga patch jag is a game changer. Best cleaning accessory I’ve ever bought for a shotgun.
I’ve used this process since your last cleaning video, the otis products are great. I bought the bore cleaner liquid and fill a small cup and soak the piston that work pretty well. However, the clp wipes have become my favorite, one wipe can clean a gun inside and out after a hunt and quick shoot.
Yeah, what’s up homey!
New semi auto 12ga owner here... I liked the video... I always wanna know how to take it down and maintain it before i put lots of shells thru it... Learning skeet, then onto ducks .... Appreciate ya Steve... From 🇨🇦
Excellent video, Steve. I love all of you "how to" videos so keep them coming.
And I love my 940JMPro!
I also put the cleaning rod on the drill to do the whole barrel an choke tube in one shot.
I used to use CLP on the gas system, but have gone to leaving all the gas parts dry. Oil plus hot gasses make lots of carbon. I’ve noticed a lot less buildup since running them dry (gas system).
What does leaving it dry mean? You just don’t do anything with it? I just bought a gas shotgun and am looking for what to do with the piston.
@@ashtynkroeze5892 most modern gas operated semi auto shotguns are “somewhat” self cleaning. Meaning, the carbon will build up for a bit, then stop. I use a toothbrush with solvent to clean the piston. It won’t be spotless and does not need to be. I clean the magazine tube with solvent and a green scotch brite scrub pad (only if there’s a lot of build up). Lastly I use solvent inside the gas ring attached to the barrel. Then I wipe all the solvent off everything and install them with no lube on anything. The only place I put lube is on friction points inside the action. Gas system stays dry. Excess oil on the piston will create a carbon mess.
@@patrickbrophy5310 👍thanks
Depending on brand some say not to put anything on them.
I know Beretta for mine says no solvents or anything in the gas parts. Just a brush to remove the carbon and a dry patch or rag
I like to pull my mag tube assy apart to make sure I don't have any swamp stuff and grit in there that inevitably finds it's way in during time in the field. Make sure she feeds those shells properly and helps prevent wear between your plunger and mag tube.
Wipe ur sg off with baby wipes. Chip off carbon if needed around gas cylinder. Oil lightly with 10w30.
Good info on Otis products, much appreciated. But I will say, if anyone thinks you're getting 1500 shots out of that 940 pro before a cleaning, you're smoking something. Mine barely went 300 before it began to malfunction. I really like shooting the gun though. Great balance, swing, low recoil, etc.
If you use a garbage can, don't use a garbage bag and if it's a plastic can line it with shop rags. Some of those cleaners dissolve or loosen plastic. I use a metal paint tray and lean the barrel end in the paint tray and I have a magnetic barrel rest for the top after I spray it.
Brake clean and compressed air works good also and it’s quick.
I just watched an earlier video of yours and mentioned the same thing. Try out an ultrasonic cleaner. It will clean all those smaller parts better than any other method.
Hey steve, thanks for the content. Make us a video on how to clean your shotgun for the first time before shooting it and how to break it in, a bonus point if it's inertia.
I’ve used a drill with a brush on small pipes and outboard steering tubes but never thought of it for chokes. Thanks for the helpful tips man and as always a great video
I usually run my piston dry. For the magazine tube I’ve found flitz metal polish after a round of any dedicated gun cleaner gets any little bit of carbon left behind.
Patch on the brush is the way to go 🙂!
Are the Shooters Choice products safe to use on camo dipped guns? They won’t peel the finish? Hate to have the camo on my A400XP peel! Keep it up man!
I just washed my new Maxus 2 in petrol with paintbrush, dried, then oiled. Cycling much better since. Took about 10 mins total.
Why?
Because it wouldn’t cycle. They are a pos.
Thank you for the information.
After I saw you with Jerry shooting the 940 GM Pro. I bought one last month. It took me a while to find one new under 850. But I did.
I was wondering if you could do a basic cleaning tutorial on that shotgun. I have seen complete disassembly with Jerry & his daughter, but I find it very difficult.
Cheers
I have a standard 930 (no special coating). Very curious about coating the recoil & magazine springs as well as the outside of the magazine tube with dry moly lube when reassembling. Your thoughts?
From my experiences from cleaning gas guns is this…only apply oil to the bolt slide action. To make it slippery. Oil on the gas system-mag tube just creates more buildup of crud. And harder to clean in my opinion. I just wipe down the gas system with gun oil rags to keep from corroding. Not so much lubrication. But my experiences 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️. Inertia guns like to be slippery in all aspects unlike gas driven guns.
Hi Steve, Love your videos and even the older ones with Gould Bros. But, the reason I had come to this video specifically, is the question of "greasing" the piston. would you grease the piston and tube instead of just using an oil???
Could you please review the browning Citori trap max
I always overlube my guns. Carbon can be cleaned. Metal can not be replaced. Sure the first few shots will be smokey but I am okay with that.
I was always told never clean the barrel without a choke installed because you will end up just clogging the threads and will give you a hard time putting a choke back in.
just picked up mine (85166) yesterday.
do you recommend cleaning before using?
How about cleaning a browning a5 older gun moving barrel
The best bro love them ❤️🔥. Review the benelli Vinci
Please how about a video on the Remington V3 or the Versamax. I am a decades long Remington fan boy for sure. I wish I could lend you both because they are no longer in production. I watch all your videos and if could at least talk about them. Thanks
Remington is making the V3’s again
Another great video.
How is this comment 1d old on a 4hr old vid?
Cuz we saw it before you cuz we're part of the TFL community
Cool didn't realize..
Can you do a comparison of breakfree lube cleaner vs your favorite cleaner for which works better with dry lube and do more step by step break down of trigger group
Great video. Thank you. I have a question, I just bought an over under, can you lubricate an over under with the Otis Dry Lube instead of grease on the hinge points etc.?
@targetfocusedlife can you do a review on the Fierce Mayhem. There’s not many reviews about this shotgun.
Ok jackson,
Beretta 1301 or Mossberg JM 940 or 930 pro???
Apparently, the 940 is a butch to take down and reassemble. JM and his kid even cut their video for cleaning it.
How often should u clean it
What is different between this gun and trap gun?
What bolt release did your slap on there?
How often should we clean our shotguns so they last as long as possible?
It depends. If you abuse it for duck/geese hunting in rain, winter, high humidity,damp conditions, then do it as soon as you’re done with it for next hunt. The reason is the dirt inside parts attract moisture and they can get rusty easily. Plus it performs smoothly as moving parts have no restrictions and the gas system is free of carbon buildup in auto loading guns.
But if you’re only Turkey/ or deer hunting, then at the end of season is good enough. Although some people have a hobby of cleaning it right after they come home. Which is a good practice too as you know the toy is always ready . Just in freezing conditions try not to over oil moving parts, they might get freeze up on you as the oil gets thick, preventing the parts from moving ESPECIALLY “ the firing pin”.
I thought aaron cleaned most of your guns and does he still have his channel it doesn’t look like it
If doing a video on "cleaning like a pro" should have done a complete breakdown. Recoil spring and magazine tube/spring. This was more of an average quick clean.
😂I've gotta say, it doesn't look very environmentally friendly? A good clean with a shed load of chemical sprays! 4 Cans per clean😮.
What about the lead and the plastic wad? Least of your worries are the chemicals.😮
@@russelllevan3878 4 Words. Steel shot, fibre wads.
What I always use..Pro Fibre
@@russelllevan3878 Excellent choice of quality product.
Could you do a video on which is best for competition and trick, a tang safety or a rear button safety or a forward button safety.
Thank you.
Is that shotgun the only semiautomatic with a tang safety also is it metal?? I want a semi but i need a tang safety.
