Thought what the hell, I’ll click. Rewarded with the most thorough explanation and demonstration of the application of grease on the net. Gotta tip my hat to you!
Just wanted to say thanks, manuals are great but in depth and to the point videos are my preference. I'm only about a month in to my o/u journey and have used this to guide my cleaning and lubing at least 5 times.
Thanks so much for this! I had no idea where to start with grease and oil, but your demonstration was clear and well-explained. I used a white lithium grease stick and some Rem oil. I think I used too much grease in places where it wasn't needed, but wiped it off. It is a brand new 20 ga OU Beretta, and I was having some trouble breaking it open and closing it. I followed your instructions and now it works like a dream. Also, as some of the other comments mention, you don't come across as a smug know-it-all like so many other videos, and I appreciate that.
Thanks for the feedback. Don't worry about too much grease, whatever excess just squeezes out and you can wipe it off. As long as you keep an eye on it and change the grease when it gets dirty just like you would change the oil in your car.
I bought a Browning Ultra xs in Nov 2022, I have put a few thousand shells through it, still was stiff as a board, I was using 3 in 1 oil to lubricate it once a week, went online to forums asking for advice on why it's still stiff to break the barrels open, was bombarded with the same advice, buy rubbing compound and polish the contact points to wear them in etc, watched this video and saw the grease so did that today and its now spot on, breaks easily with a flick of the thumb release, well played sir well played indeed.
Thanks! From USA California, bought a b694 ACS based on your reviews of the 694. Shot it for the first time this weekend, Shoots like a dream. Best Wishes. N
Great video: delivered with modesty and true experience. Very helpful for a new shooter wishing to preserve his gun for years to come - especially given the cost. Keep up the good work and hope you reach the subscribers target.
No idea how many arguments I’ve had about using grease vs oil. How folks can’t understand that oil by definition flows as is meant to be replenished from a reservoir is mind boggling. Also it’s important to remember that grease comes in different weights. Generally I use a 0 weight on firearms except for bolt action locking lugs that do see very high sheer forces. A toothpick dab of 3-4 weight grease works well. Generally I like to use Q-tips to apply 👍🏼👍🏼
I would just add a few comments please. 1) I ALWAYS clean my shotgun after every outing. 2) I wipe all mating surfaces( the bearing surfaces) with a clean tissue, even after only a few shots you will see the grease is dirty, dirt equals wear. 3) I recommend SUPER LUBE. multi purpose synthetic grease, it is relatively expensive but lasts YEARS and is clear so you can see the dirt when you wipe the bearing surfaces.. 4) put just the minimum grease on the ejector kickers and other surfaces as no point in wiping the excess off. 5)Remember a lubricant is stopping two surfaces from ACTUALLY touching , there fore minimising wear.
Great video! I am newb when it comes to the maintenance of o/u; however, your description of of “friction” helped a lot in understanding the points of concern! Even your comments on fore arms was excellent! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Have a silver pigeon, gets cleaned every time I use it and use the beretta white grease , everything gets some the fore end latch , behind ejectors , ejector spring on end , around the knuckles , on the locking lugs and around the mating surface ,also feed wood with some beretta wood oil
Another beast video thanks ! Just bought a brand spanking new 694 and I’m looking for info on how to prepare it for use (remove the shipping grease etc). Thanks !
Hi, I use a grease product branded as Inox PTFE on all the bearing surfaces where as with sliding parts such as ejectors, choke threads and cocking slides in the receiver, I use an aerosol lithium grease from CRC as it’s the only one in Aus that I can find with a application straw. Without a straw it makes too big a mess. I use lithium grease as it’s rated for high temp and extreme pressure. The Inox MX6 grease is a”clear” food grade product and comes in a small tube.
Thanks Mark I am recommending this grease in the UK, not sure if aailable in OZ www.amazon.co.uk/Comma-GR2500G-Multi-Purpose-Lithium-Grease/dp/B002E2QM6S/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=comma+lithium+grease&link_code=qs&qid=1604911411&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-5&tag=firefox-uk-21
@@lloydyp Thanks Lloyd, its not a product readily available here and the reason I use an aerosol is unlike the solid form, the aerosol is expelled in a solution which rapidly evaporates but gets it into tight places that the solid type cant. The tube "solid" product is good for all the exposed surfaces
@@lloydyp Sounds good! I found when I started out you had to go searching for info on the basics, the kind of stuff you don't always want to ask! The other one to consider is the different disciplines. You did a video on skeet a while back as part of a mini series but I appreciate lockdown has halted this. cheers
brilliant film lloyd,i clean my 525 after every outing.only one thing to mention,at the start of your film,i thought is that brandy or boiled linseed oil,got the answer at the end😂😂.keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks for another good video. One of the sadder things I'd seen shotgun wise was a Citori where the former owner either didn't know about proper care or worse didn't care. Something had gotten into the hinge area and ground a nasty groove into the hinge and barrel where the two meet. I bought the gun after a gunsmith had fixed things up but I was always bothered that damage happened due basic lack of maintenance.
Very much enjoyed the new video Lloyd ! Like the new intro to your fantastic channel I was very lucky to get a trip at Purdey 4 years ago, there I was told vaseline was the best thin to us. So I’ve been us it & it works well sir. My 725 pro sport is deep cleaned every weekend 👍
Lloyd as a new shooter I really enjoy your videos and love the gun reviews. Used them to help narrow down my choices of ones to look at so thanks for that. Is the grease in your link still the same stuff as it looks like a big tub compared to yours?
Hi, firstly thank you :). The grease is not the same as the Pronatur stuff I use is not available online anywhere. This is an equivalent grease, and that tub will last a lifetime.
Excellent content...50 or 250...clean them EVERY TIME...a fine shotgun is a legacy...as much proof of your existence on this planet as your children & grandchildren when it’s passed from you to the next generation...
A good phrase I heard, mainly for machinery is : grease is cheaper than metal. Tbh, I clean my gun every time I use it, whether one shot or a hundred shots, I renew the grease every time, it's a tiny bit of extra work for a bit of fresh grease. I f it looks dirty, then there's already crud in there working away like a bit of valve lapping paste....
@@lloydyp I've put so far off buying some second hand guns, even expensive ones, that when you look down the bores there's all those black streaks of powder residue that's clearly not from one use😅
Awesome video! New to the sport, just purchased an ATA 686B 12G over/under shotgun, and have also just watched your comparison and thoughts, again, great unbiased video, newly subscribed 👍 Cheers from Australia
Cheers, Lloyd. Yank from Florida, USA here. Nice video; I like your style of explaining things . I have a Browning Lightning Sporting Clay's 12 GA. that I bought new about 2 decades or so ago. I haven't shot it for about 10 years, but prior to that, used it weekly for sporting clays and 5-stand. It probably has had a couple thousand shells through it, mostly Remington Dove & Quail field loads. The gun has been well maintained, and properly lubricated, but has never really loosened up... The hinge is almost as stiff today as when I first brought it home. I'm reluctant to have anyone "loosen" it up, since I'm concerned that they might overdo it. The gun shoots really well (I did respectably well in many competitions) and I'm planning on getting back into the sport. Any suggestions?
Good advice! However, you must change your oil!!!! In the last 20 years there has been significant improvement in lubricants! Oil is CHEAP when compared to a Perazzi. Cheers. Good shooting and Merry Christmas.
Hi Lloyd, a wise man told me to look for Pronatur engineer grease, which is what yours looks like (but can't find it anywhere to buy!). The stuff in your link isn't the same. Any tips on where to get the same stuff as you, as I've heard it's the nuts! Loving the content, 20 vids down, plenty more to go :D Oh, and congrats on breaking the 10k mark! :D
Hi Lloyd thanks for the reply I think in the uk Rizzini is still very game gun orientated in the uk I think you would like BR as you seem to like the bigger clay guns. I also like to shoot something a bit different that you don’t see very often on the clay grounds I like the drop out tigger 10mm parallel took a bit of getting use to. I’ve had a lot of the really good clay guns F3 pro dt10 & invictius. Guns are like whisky they are all good but some are better the others. Cheers Greg
Fairly sure I was already subbed, but on checking, I wasn’t. Now fixed. A good video, Lloyd. Thank you. A question please if I may? Cleaning choke threads, how? Especially the internal threads inside the barrel? Your adventure would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
On the choke if there is carbon build up I use solvol autosol on a cloth, just grip the choke with the cloth impregnated with polish and rotate. Then polish off with a clean cloth. Internally, one the chokes are removed use a Payne Galway chamber brush with some bore solvent on it and rotate in the direction of the thread. Then polish out with clean 2x4 on a Jag or an old phosphor bronze brush. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BHPV5SP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_-b76FbQNPPNZ2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Que un profesional como tu no sepa dónde se engrasan las armas me sorprende,porque dejas de hacerlo en uno de los sitios más importantes, que es en donde el arma realiza el cierre, que es donde, en caso de la perazzi entran los muñones ,es decir la parte trasera del cañón donde se realiza el cierre al entrar la llamada H. Si no se hace, en poco tiempo la palanca de apertura se sitúa en el centro debido al desgaste del cierre, y en ese caso habrá que proceder al cambio de la pieza denominada H. Saludos.
Nice video, thank you for your efforts. I have a question please. I can not get that grease you mentioned, but could I use the "Mobil XHP222" grease (the blue one)?
Evenin' Lloyd. Popping into say hi now that subscribed. Browning man? Well done :D I use Tetra but have seen some wear marks appear on the 525 over the 5 years I've had it. Would you recommend regular grease over this ?
Evening. Well technically I'm a Perazzi man, I also own a Browning :). Nowt wrong with tetra but it's Manky expensive when it's no better than regular lithium or PTFE engineering grease.
Where can I find this grease in Canada? Can you recommend similar product, because Comma GR2500G Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease is not available right now in Canada. Thanks.
Lloyd, good quick video. I started lubing, then moved to oil. Think I'd best go back to lube. Question - can you do a video for storing a gun long term?? I've got my SxS that I want to hand down to my lad, but that won't be for poss 5 years.
I think you used the term 'engineering grease' but what is it and where do we get it? Is it an over the counter item which has a brand name or type? Good video though and as I have the same Browning I took extra attention.
I bought the 725 Sporting a year ago or so and it's been super tight since day one. I have oiled and greased as you have shown here too. In fact a friend of mine bought one on the same day as I did from the same shop and his was so tight that a piece of the wood from the forearm broke off as he was detaching the barrell from the action. Now he has to send the entire gun back to Browning. Is this level of tightness normal? We have both shot 1000 rounds or more and they have barely loosened up.
Grease or oil I don’t care folks but you need to do it. Recently found tiny orange specks deep inside on the hinge pins. Broken clays obviously so don’t assume it never happens clean and lube your guns you paid hard earned money for them.
I’m constantly pulling my guns out to admire them practice mounting and what not and make sure there looking good and well oiled if I had the guns you have I might sleep with them lol
Good content as always mate, you usually find people either have a dry as a bone gun or it's the exxon valdez, how often do you break down to the action and clean/lubricate?
Almost never. If the gun were to get sipping wet I'd take it to bits to make sure there was no water in there but other than that maybe every couple of years.
@@lloydyp can't imagine the perazzi will be out in the rain haha. Ok mate thanks that is another interesting myths/debate some say do it often i myself do it once a year as i have a few older winchester 101s alongside my newer guns so like to keep them in check.
@@MR12GAUGE aye the P gun stays dry. That's what the Browning's for. I would say once a year is completely reasonable but I don't know what climate you shoot in. If it's dusty or excessively humid I would be inclined to do it more often but I live in a temperate zone.
Having trouble finding the clear engineering grease you mention in your excellent video. Can you confirm the name and/or provide a weblink please - thanks :-)
Thanks Lloyd. Just subscribed. Any chance on how you clean your barrel and chokes. I clean mine and my wife’s o/u after every outing. Only cleaning I do she says. 🙄
Hi Lloyd really enjoy your channel thought about doing it myself, but after watching your lockdown chat with Johnny from TGS our shooting background sound very familiar especially when you spoke about handguns as that was my main passion to handed in 14 pistol/ revolvers as I shot police pistol 1500 service A & B etc.. Still do firearms but claying is what I’m competitive at theses days I would be interested if you ever get a chance to review a Rizzini BR440 or 460 as I’ve just picked up a 440 32 inch adjustable sporter ,Rizzini not so big for comp guns in the uk. Im interested on your thoughts and also the TGS yildz pro black looks fantastic for the money although not seen one to handle yet but seems a lot of gun for the cash, would love to come up to Bywell sometime for a shoot & a chat. All the Best Greg
I've actually toured the Rizzini factory and handled the BR while I was there. Unfortunately I've had zero engagement from the UK distributor with regard to sending me a press gun. 🤷♂️
Great video. Just a question. In dusty desert conditions like military use or hunting. Would you run your guns dry, or lightly grease sliding components? From South Africa 🇿🇦
I recently got my License and I am watching all your video. Your content is great and I am so fortunate that i have opportunity to learn from your experience!! Thank you so much And if you could advise I am in market for Shotgun and i have shortlisted DT11 & Perazzi. What do you prefer?
DT11 or Perazzi as a first gun ? Truthfully I'm not convinced you will appreciate either of them if they're your first gun. You should spend some time shooting before going that deep in on expenditure of the those tier of guns. You don't know what you do or don't like to shoot..

Good idea, but it's something I would like to do with one of the guys at Bywell after lockdown I think.

Another great video, showing how it SHOULD be done, IMHO. I've lubricated my guns this way after every shoot.
Thanks man.
Slick video Lloyd
Groan.
I would just add a few comments please. 1) I ALWAYS clean my shotgun after every outing.
2) I wipe all mating surfaces( the bearing surfaces) with a clean tissue, even after only a few shots you will see the grease is dirty, dirt equals wear.
3) I recommend SUPER LUBE. multi purpose synthetic grease, it is relatively expensive but lasts YEARS and is clear so you can see the dirt when you wipe the bearing surfaces..
4) put just the minimum grease on the ejector kickers and other surfaces as no point in wiping the excess off.
5)Remember a lubricant is stopping two surfaces from ACTUALLY touching , there fore minimising wear.
Thanks for watching.

Grease is cheap, I redo it every time I’ve shot the gun

Thanks....seen it now and have ordered some, used Blaser own brand on my F3....really expensive
You can buy enough grease for the entirety of the rest of your life for 20 quid.

Aye Edward king doesn’t give a toss about clay shooting. Shame I think Rizzini could do well in the uk with a bit of marketing.

Si no se hace, en poco tiempo la palanca de apertura se sitúa en el centro debido al desgaste del cierre, y en ese caso habrá que proceder al cambio de la pieza denominada H.
Saludos.
Thanks for the information.
My pleasure
Any time.
Nice video, thank you for your efforts.
I have a question please.
I can not get that grease you mentioned, but could I use the "Mobil XHP222" grease (the blue one)?
Bit of advice please, the brake action lever on my 912k is very stiff and sticky. I do clean it reguarly and lightly lube it every other time i shoot
Can’t really comment without seeing the gun sorry.
Evenin' Lloyd. Popping into say hi now that subscribed. Browning man? Well done :D I use Tetra but have seen some wear marks appear on the 525 over the 5 years I've had it. Would you recommend regular grease over this ?
Evening. Well technically I'm a Perazzi man, I also own a Browning :). Nowt wrong with tetra but it's Manky expensive when it's no better than regular lithium or PTFE engineering grease.
Thanks again Lloyd for doing this video after I asked the question on your Q&A very useful
You are welcome sir 👍
Hi Lloyd great channel and information being passed on thank you. Quick question where do you get your grease from please. Cheers Andy
Amazon. Search for comma high performance grease.
@@lloydyp thanks for this I totally agree gun cleaned after every use. Thank you
Great video What do you do with the chokes and how often do you remove and re-grease/oil them
Every 3 months or so. Remove, clean and apply a thin film of grease to the threads.
Where can I find this grease in Canada? Can you recommend similar product, because Comma GR2500G Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease is not available right now in Canada. Thanks.
Lloyd, good quick video. I started lubing, then moved to oil. Think I'd best go back to lube.
Question - can you do a video for storing a gun long term?? I've got my SxS that I want to hand down to my lad, but that won't be for poss 5 years.
You mean like this one: th-cam.com/video/WKspLh-tJH4/w-d-xo.html
@@lloydyp Aye, ta! Just subbed you today, and if TGS pushed this out, I missed it.
They didn't, it's on my channel.
I think you used the term 'engineering grease' but what is it and where do we get it? Is it an over the counter item which has a brand name or type? Good video though and as I have the same Browning I took extra attention.
Link in the description 😉
Just a thought do you use an oily rag to wipe down the barrels before you put them to bed?
Every time. If I didn't do it in the vid I'll have done it after turning off the camera.
Where did you get that grease from? What brand is it? Looks a lot like the stuff that came in a little pot with my F3
Its very similar, I get mine from Bywell obviously but you can find similar greases on eBay etc.
I bought the 725 Sporting a year ago or so and it's been super tight since day one. I have oiled and greased as you have shown here too. In fact a friend of mine bought one on the same day as I did from the same shop and his was so tight that a piece of the wood from the forearm broke off as he was detaching the barrell from the action. Now he has to send the entire gun back to Browning. Is this level of tightness normal? We have both shot 1000 rounds or more and they have barely loosened up.
Tight enough to snap the fire end seems a bit extreme but 1000 shells is barely starting to break a gun in to be fair.
Lloyd great vid again the grease you use where when what and how much cheers

@@lloydyp Cheers Lloyd ordered and on its way 👍🔫
Grease or oil I don’t care folks but you need to do it. Recently found tiny orange specks deep inside on the hinge pins. Broken clays obviously so don’t assume it never happens clean and lube your guns you paid hard earned money for them.
Many thanks for the informative video. How do you clean off the grease if it gets dirty?
Just wipe off with a cloth and apply fresh grease.
@@lloydyp Thank you for the quick reply!
My pleasure
I’m constantly pulling my guns out to admire them practice mounting and what not and make sure there looking good and well oiled if I had the guns you have I might sleep with them lol
Ummmmkaaaay…😂
Good content as always mate, you usually find people either have a dry as a bone gun or it's the exxon valdez, how often do you break down to the action and clean/lubricate?
You mean take the stock off and get into the lockwork?
@@lloydyp yes mate
Almost never. If the gun were to get sipping wet I'd take it to bits to make sure there was no water in there but other than that maybe every couple of years.
@@lloydyp can't imagine the perazzi will be out in the rain haha. Ok mate thanks that is another interesting myths/debate some say do it often i myself do it once a year as i have a few older winchester 101s alongside my newer guns so like to keep them in check.
@@MR12GAUGE aye the P gun stays dry. That's what the Browning's for. I would say once a year is completely reasonable but I don't know what climate you shoot in. If it's dusty or excessively humid I would be inclined to do it more often but I live in a temperate zone.
Having trouble finding the clear engineering grease you mention in your excellent video. Can you confirm the name and/or provide a weblink please - thanks :-)
Link is in the video description.
@@lloydyp Brilliant, thanks! Didn't spot this earlier!
Thanks Lloyd. Just subscribed.
Any chance on how you clean your barrel and chokes.
I clean mine and my wife’s o/u after every outing. Only cleaning I do she says. 🙄
I got you covered: th-cam.com/video/-QoYPhsxVaU/w-d-xo.html
Hi Lloyd really enjoy your channel thought about doing it myself, but after watching your lockdown chat with Johnny from TGS our shooting background sound very familiar especially when you spoke about handguns as that was my main passion to handed in 14 pistol/ revolvers as I shot police pistol 1500 service A & B etc..
Still do firearms but claying is what I’m competitive at theses days
I would be interested if you ever get a chance to review a Rizzini BR440 or 460 as I’ve just picked up a 440 32 inch adjustable sporter ,Rizzini not so big for comp guns in the uk. Im interested on your thoughts and also the TGS yildz pro black looks fantastic for the money although not seen one to handle yet but seems a lot of gun for the cash, would love to come up to Bywell sometime for a shoot & a chat.
All the Best Greg
I've actually toured the Rizzini factory and handled the BR while I was there. Unfortunately I've had zero engagement from the UK distributor with regard to sending me a press gun. 🤷♂️
On the plus side yildiz have been in touch so Im hopeful I'll have one of those to test soon.
Great video. Just a question. In dusty desert conditions like military use or hunting. Would you run your guns dry, or lightly grease sliding components? From South Africa 🇿🇦
I'd recommend a dry lube, Google
"Interflon Fin"
@@lloydyp is the PTFE grease you use from Renapur?
@@shahielharilal6710 Yes, but I have never seen it for sale online.
@@lloydyp we have a Renapur agent in South Africa. I will find out. Is it a thick grease?
@@shahielharilal6710 it's the same consistancy as mayonaise
Am I right to assume you use a little oil for your chokes?
Nope, same grease as I use on the action. Oil gets too hot and burns off at the muzzle.
You look like Razor Rudock , Great vid ,new sub
Lol thanks. Is that a good thing? I know bugger all about football.
@@lloydyp Me neither,
I recently got my License and I am watching all your video. Your content is great and I am so fortunate that i have opportunity to learn from your experience!! Thank you so much
And if you could advise I am in market for Shotgun and i have shortlisted DT11 & Perazzi.
What do you prefer?
And joined your patreon!! 100000 sooon!!
Thank you, my personal preference is perazzi but you should really spend some time shooting as many different guns as you can before committing.
DT11 or Perazzi as a first gun ? Truthfully I'm not convinced you will appreciate either of them if they're your first gun. You should spend some time shooting before going that deep in on expenditure of the those tier of guns. You don't know what you do or don't like to shoot..
Thank you very interesting 🤓
How can I get the grease recommended here in the USA? Just found your channel and enjoy it.
Lubriplate 130-A Gun grease, Kriegoff gun grease, Hoppe’s #9 gun grease
There's a link to an equivalent grease in the description. The particular grease I use is not available online.
I USE A Q TIP, WORKS REAL WELL!!
To apply the lube? Or to clean your ears 😂
Great video
Thank you Mike.
What kind of grease do you use and where do you purchase this from?
Dave.
There's an Amazon link in the description of the video.
Thanks for the info... good advice. Subbed!
Thank you Darren.
Do you use the same grease on the choke tube thstvyou use to lubricate the gun
Yes.
