Afterward, a light spritz and wipe down using aerosol silicone lube on all of the metal never hurts, especially if the item is going to sit unused for awhile.
We usually avoid lubing those as the lube will tend to attract crud. We suggest only lightly lube those areas after the gun has been cleaned and put into storage to keep moisture away.
If you clean your weapon after every time it's used then crud shouldn't really build up, it's always been you lightly oil ANY high friction areas within a weapons mechanisms. Also you didnt cover how to properly clean the outside of the weapon. Js
You've bought into the marketing hype that firearms need large amounts of lubrication. The truth is that they don't need much. Most firearms will function fine when oil is applied and then wiped away from lubcrication points, leaving a very thin film
Did anyone else laugh to themselves when Larry graciously said " By design these guns have generous tolerances" instead of saying the action on these guns are sloppy as hell?
What do you mean sloppy? Sloppy implies poor manufacturing quality. These shotguns will run in the middle east in nasty sandstorms. I call that a feature not a problem. You want looser tolerances for dealing with all types of weather conditions. What matters is functionality and reliability and longevity. All of which are synonymous with the Mossberg pump platform. Theres a reason my 870 sits in the back of my safe while my Mossbergs get actual use. I'd pit a cheap $185 maverick 88 against any pump shotguns any day and know that it is a trustworthy shotgun.
Guess Ill need to order new actionbar+forearm, the actionbars in this video are solid as a rock while my are wiggling & shaking like crazy... If the new one goes bad in 1-2 years I'll make sure to stay away from Mossberg all together then
Newer production mossbergs have much looser tolerances. Mine do the same thing, it’s not really going to cause any issues, it’s just kind of annoying. I would suggest buying an older model if you want better quality.
Call mossberg and ask them about that. Alledgedly the 'give' or wiggle is intentional and prevents people from yanking the foreend in a odd fashion and breaking it
Thanks for doing this “by the book”. There are tons of video of people that do it “their” way, but I want the RIGHT way, and this is super helpful!
Are you supposed to put any oil on the bolt?
I got lucky when I found these videos thanks again
Cleaning of the magazine tube. To inspect the spring etc…
So that's what Steve looked like with out grey hair...😉😄😄

Wow that went fast
really nice videos...really helpful.
Thank you for the feedback! :)
so the bolt and bolt slider do not require any lubrication at all?

THANK YOU!!
Thank you sir 🙏
could I use grease to lube these parts too?
For sure I’ve heard of plenty of people who use grease.
Any recommended lubricants?
how do i clean the magazine tube?
that thing has to take more lube than that
From what I've seen with my 500, yeah, I agree with that.
