I never thought of removing the ejectors on my Beretta. You made it look so easy. Next time I clean my gun I will definitely remove and clean the ejectors. Thanks for showing me that. 👍
One thing that was not mentioned, and I believe is important, is that guns should be stored after cleaning barrels down, this ensures any surplus oil in the action or barrels does not seep down into the stock.
@@LeaLeasCountryLifebut not for the wood conditioner on the stock and forend, the heat from your hand and rubbing it allows the oil to penetrate the pores.
Now cotton buds are a very good idea, I like that tip. The drill just saves you having to rod it yourself, takes the arm work out of it. Sped it up a lot as my gun was rather dirty
Well done that man, i have to say this is the best shotgun cleaning presentation i have seen on TH-cam by a country mile, (not as good as mine of course 😀). I cringe at most of the other cleaning videos for multiple reasons but yours is top notch. 👍
Sorry, but not for me! Using a power tool to clean the barrel of a shotgun will eventally dammage the breach. Yes, I can hear saying "but it's alluminium", the rod will pick up dirt and with it spinning against any of the inner barrel (including the breach) will eventually dammage it. However you could use a barrel guide (but not mensioned).
Thank you for the reply. My experience has built up from 54 yrs of shotgun shooting, both in the field & comp. With many national titles in two different countries! As you said "We all have our own way of cleaning".
Ooo very well done to you, well earned I am sure. The barrel won’t get damaged, it’s no different then manually using a rod, just letting the drill do the hard graft for you😊
I found a berrita 12 guage on a aluminum case with briley tube's for 16,410,20 guage. I believe it was a 682. It was at a gun show in Georgia USA. He is asking 5k dollars for it. Brand new but old weapon. What you think i should offer him
I honestly don’t know enough about different variations to be able to recommend prices, and without seeing it, it would be poor of me to advise you on a price. Have you spoken to a local gun smith that may be able to let you know what they would pay in dollars ?
Bellissimo video Lea , complimenti !! Se pulisci la tua arma in questo modo, due o tre volte durante la stagione di caccia , la useranno i tuoi figli , i figli dei tuoi figli e i loro figli …. Beretta , i migliori sovrapposti al mondo !! Grande paese l’ ITALIA ❤
Thank you, Jules is a fab teacher, there isn’t much he doesn’t know. I do like my little Beretta, she’s nothing special but she’s my first one and so I’ll keep her…just need to keep her a bit cleaner 😂
I remember Julian from Avalon days (I think it was). Super fellow and very nice to see him on this vid after all those years. Thanks for posting and great vid.
WD-40 is actually Water Displacing Oil, Formula 40. It is a drying oil that is intended to be used as a Rust Preventative. It is NOT a lubricant or penetrating oil for seized parts. Police Armorers across the entire USA LOATHE WD-40 because it's the first thing patrol officers reach for when they decide to clean their sidearms. In about 10 years of this there will be a black gluey mess in the action of the guns that requires a full strip down and cleaning to get the gun back into operating condition. If you need a penetrating oil for seized parts get yourself some Kroil, there is nothing better. If you want a good lubricating oil Lucas Gun Oil or non detergent lawn mower oil will do the job. Note detergent oils can remove bluing over time, so don't use something like Mobil 1. My preferred cleaning solution is Ballistol. For removing the ejectors on my Beretta's arthritis forced me to get a bit creative. I took a 5 inch length of 3/4 inch (19mm) hardwood dowel and notched the end 3/16 inch (5mm) deep that was the width of the 12 gauge ejector flag. Note the notch is square. So I can take my hand and apply pressure to press in the ejector and then slowly rotate them out of the dovetails. Note, this single tool works well with 410, 28, 20, and 12 gauge Beretta's. I keep mine in the case for my 28/410 combo gun 687 SPIII because I always get some 410 love in with my Skeet practice.
as a german it is not every day that you experience "british humor": but this video put a big smile on my face . . .. . . and there was quite a bit to be learnt too!!!!!
Well that is music to my ears, very glad you enjoyed it. Our humour is pretty good to be fair, we can make a joke out of anything and everything 😂 Glad you also found it educational
I meet Juilan at world gunmakers event in London. He a funny chap fantastic banter ! As for your cleaning box Have you used it ? As my one looked more used after it 1st time vs your one 😂
He is a legend, lovely chap with lots of knowledge. I’ve had it years and it’s been used a lot, but I do have additional bore snakes, clothes, oil, pro ferrum etc that’s kept in a basket that doesn’t leave the house
My shotgun is a Beretta silver pigeon, 2011, 28 inch barrels, shorted stock, she’s very light, very basic wood. I don’t actually shoot skeet and so I wouldn’t be good to get advice from. Have you contacted your local gun shop to see what they think?
Девушка щебечет как птица весной. 😊 Можно чистить быстрее. Промыть стволы из чайника кипятком. Почистить капроновым ершом с мылом. И смыть всё кипятком из чайника. Стволы быстро высохнут, потому что горячие. И как они будут сухие, смазать их маслом. Главный секрет в том, что пороховой нагар больше растворяется в воде, нежели в масле или растворителях.
I have a Silver Pigeon 1 and never yet removed and cleaned the ejectors so next time I will do this. When cleaning the action, should I choose a soft bristled tooth brush approved by the American Dental Association? Cracking good video, thanks for sharing!
I had my very first lesson with a Beretta Silver Pigeon which was quite old but still in very good condition, and when I went into the shop they happened to have a small ladies one available and so I went with what I liked and what was within my budget. Mine isn’t anything special 😂 the wood is low grade but I do quite like her
OR you can just apply some Mother Care metal polising compound on your normal soft shotgun cleaning rod attachement and use a hand held drill to rotate the rod . Make sure the hand held drill has speed adjustment so u cane start slow and then speed up. No risk of over doing it and the polishing out of the scratches , rust or pitting can be done at any point inside the barrel. After the pittng is smoothed out just move the the rod back and forth through out the inside of the barrel aroubd 10 times with the drill rotating at full speed . You barrel will look as good an new and cleaner than your could ever get it by any other cleaing method or product.
@@LeaLeasCountryLife your videos are very informative but hunting is done in almost every part of the world in all types enviornment including places where spcialized equipment and tools are not available. It would be very nice of you to give information on how it can be done without special cleaning sprays, barrel vices and the awesome knowledge of gun metallergy like the expert in your video.. that will attract more people to watch your videos and you will be able to reach out to a wider range of viewers because 80% of the hunting community around the world falles in the catagory I described.
legia spray, a few clean rags, full length bore mop, if it is raining I use a slip all day and transport my guns home dismantled in a hard case wrapped in clean towels, job done
its a leftover from before I had berettas, I used to shoot Brownings and Mirokus, they rust like a 1970s Datsun, on the odd occasion when I have got the Berettas wet and forgot to clean them they didn't go rusty anyway@@LeaLeasCountryLife
Running hot water through the barrel a few times before running the cleaning also helps alot . It removes the nitrates and gunk pushed into the microscopic pores which every barrel has nomatter how well its made unless its chromed and even then the chrome develops microscopic cracks which develop due to differt rates of heat expansion of the gun metal and the chrome covering it . Hot water method works equally good for 4140 / 4150 / 416r steel as well as chromed barrels. Out in the bush if you do not have the time and luxury of properly removing the barrels and running cleaning sprays through them specially in cold weather where lubricants become thicker and gunk up in every nook and cranny . Just open the action build a small fire heat up the water and pour it down the barrel few times . One run of the cleaning rod after that and you have a gunk free shiny barrel good to go for the next session.
@@LeaLeasCountryLife Hi I found today my Beretta has a lot of surface rust as I had been in hospital and hadn’t shot for nearly 6 months would love some advice on how to remove it without damaging the blueing please
So glad I found this video . Made my day . Good to see pleasant and joyful content. First rounds through my Silver Pigeon earlier today .
Glad you found it joyful, hope it cheered up your day! Oooo how did you get on?
I never thought of removing the ejectors on my Beretta. You made it look so easy. Next time I clean my gun I will definitely remove and clean the ejectors. Thanks for showing me that. 👍
To be honest I didn’t either, never seen it being done or heard it being talked about. Jules knows all the tricks
That was an outstanding walkthrough of the cleaning process. Many thanks for putting it together!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼
Thanks Lea great episode. Where is Jules shop? Some selection…
Jules shop is located in Crewkerne, Somerset and is called Coombe Farm Sporting 😊
One thing that was not mentioned, and I believe is important, is that guns should be stored after cleaning barrels down, this ensures any surplus oil in the action or barrels does not seep down into the stock.
Good spot thank you
helps to wear nitrile gloves to save your skin from the cleaning chemicals, also stops fingerprints.
Good tip thanks
@@LeaLeasCountryLifebut not for the wood conditioner on the stock and forend, the heat from your hand and rubbing it allows the oil to penetrate the pores.
Pure filthy!😂 Greeting from Ireland ,learnt loads thanks
You’re more than welcome🙌🏼 It was filthy 😋
I always kept a good firm tooth brush and cotton ear buds in my cleaning kit, but I would never use a power drill to clean any barrel.
Now cotton buds are a very good idea, I like that tip. The drill just saves you having to rod it yourself, takes the arm work out of it. Sped it up a lot as my gun was rather dirty

The only black it takes off is Carbon not blue or blacking! 🤦🏻♀️WD 40 stands for Water Dispersant & cleaner👌🏻
Very interesting, I guess we’ve all experienced different damage with different products
So are those solid rods or are they sectioned screwed together.
The metal one in the drill or in my Bisley cleaning kit?

I’m taking that as a compliment as the sound of birds is calming and peaceful 😂 Gosh with a kettle, you go steady now, don’t want you getting burnt
Is it a wool mop or wire brush on the end of the rod when drilling or something else?
Wire brush but it’s quite worn
Was he using just a mop on the rod in the drill or was there a brush or anything wrapped around it?
Brush I believe from memory
I have a Silver Pigeon 1 and never yet removed and cleaned the ejectors so next time I will do this. When cleaning the action, should I choose a soft bristled tooth brush approved by the American Dental Association? Cracking good video, thanks for sharing!
…I hadn’t either 🙃😂 nice and clean now though. Use which ever soft toothbrush you can get your paws on
If you use one not approved by the American Dental Association you will ruin everything. Be warned.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning from this man.
He’s fab isn’t he. There isn’t much he doesn’t know
Going to have a go with the drill next time. Which model is your gun?
She’s a Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 called Beatrice 😂
Is that a bronze brush or mop being used with the drill ?
Bronze brush just a tad worn
that was very good to see how to do that before i buy my first gun thank you
