It is known that you need to put a bit of grease in where the bite located in the barrels in the F3. I found out when mine started getting hard to open.
It's difficult to imagine someone treating a shotgun, that costs as much as a new car, so poorly. I clean, oil, and grease my Boss Action shotguns thoroughly every time I shoot them, and every few months I pull the stocks to check the actions. Of course, if everyone did that, you'd have a lot less work.
I agree. Rests why so many of my videos have me commenting that it’s easy to do yourself.. and partly why I do the videos.. and TBH it wouldn’t bother me if more people took off the stock and sprayed some Liege or Napier around the action.. it’s easy and very difficult to screw up lol😂👍
@@devongunsmith4698 I use a product called Clenzoil which is made here in Florida. It's very highly rated and does a great job, After I spray it on the ejectors, I use canned compressed air to blow off the excess. With one of my shotguns, which i bought used, I had to place the dirty action in a sonic cleaner, which did an excellent job of removing accumulated crud.
A simple way to clean a shotgun action is to place it in a sonic cleaner with metal cleaning added to the water. Let it run for an hour, and then action will be spotless.
I just found ur channel and have subscribed as the content is interesting and well presented. I have a browning xs shotgun about 20 year old. Unfortunately I put it away with out cleaning and the chrome in the barrels got slightly pitted. Is there anything that you could do to it. Or would it be worth getting new barrels fitted. The chrome is only slight pitting from what I can see.
It is rare for Chrome to get pitted, however when the damage is done It is unfortunately present. I can’t comment on Gun have inspected but if it is only a small amount of pitting the best bet is to get it looked at or inspected.
In a perfect world, yes absolutely. It was a same day quick fix. My client was satisfied. And also I guarantee all my work. So if that issue pops up again in the next year, I will sort it out without charge. I also showed my client how easy it is to clean up with gun cleaning spray. Ideally it would warrant a full action strip down service. My client has that option too. 👍
Bit concerned to see that expensive woodwork moved around on anything other than a baize cloth. Glad you fixed the problem, but a bruised stock or fore-end would not have pleased me, or my Rizzini !
Fair point. But as I frequently polish gunstock ls from the white, wouldn’t actually be any problem to me, also there were already scratches on the stock.. so a moot point.. anyhow, as you’ll not be getting me to do any work for you anyway, it’s hardly a problem is it mate? 👍
@@Skeeterguy24 it must be amazing to be so perfect mate. You obviously missed me wiping down the gunstock with fresh boiled linseed oil.. 🤣🤣🤣👍 I can’t wait to watch your next video.. oh .. you don’t produce anything.. just another Critic 🙄
This bloke is allowing you to see a real workshop situation. Professionals in any trade can look a bit care free with things and that is because they have lost the unnecessary fearful caution that amateurs have.
Great job, Sir. Do not worry about the naysayers. They are everywhere but serve no socially-cognizable purpose. Perry P., USA
Thank you
Great vid thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

Good point 👍
Grease is for cars. Oil is for guns.
Nice video.
I enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I have a Blaser and always clean it after every time out shooting and do the same as you recommend take the stock off.
Absolutely! 👍
thanks for the video.. need more F3 maintenance ones
Working on it! I need more blazer clients 😂
Love it! Any tips on how to reblack some of the wear/oil marks on blazer black action?
@@petermcallister344 I’ve covered this on quite a few full service videos, but it’s worth making a quick video to cover it 👍
I've an older Blaser that has just started having this problem a couple of weeks ago.
I think a wee mini service is on the cards tonight.
The blazer action is naturally quite tight, so lubrication and grease on the hinge will help as well

Completely agree. You’ve not seen my other videos where I do exactly that then? 🤣👍

Muy fácinantes armas amigos saludos chevre belleza 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Gracias Amigo !
A case of simple neglect.
Probably.
Would you not remove the detent and give it and the block a good clean?
In a perfect world, yes absolutely.

I had the same problem opening action. It started when I used the barrel selector switch.
It’s all down to cleaning. And sufficient lubrication.

@@devongunsmith4698 probably one of the best responses I’ve ever read 😂
Overspray from the cleaner in proximity to the wood isn’t too healthy as well. I would set aside.

Top class video. Thank you .

Well done that Man
Thank you 👍
Can you do some videos on rifles? (Blaser if you can😂😂😂)
I don’t see many rifles as rifles don’t really have many problems. 👍
@@devongunsmith4698 ok. Awesome videos btw😁
