[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4782968, member: 15365"] Cleaning Clean the hell out of that barrel before you ever shoot it. Scrub it good with a centerfire solvent and make certain you got all the shipping gunk out of it. The stuff can be a real pain to get out and its horrible if you fire it with packing grease still in it. I like to run at least 25-50 passes of JB Bore Shine through a new bore before its ever shot. It helps get out any crud solvents missed and lightly polishes the bore. AVOID the garbage Bore Butter and Wonder Lube stuff for storage. Use a good synthetic gun oil after cleaning. Mineral oil based products are also pretty good such as Montana Xtreme or Ballistol. Not the best for long term storage but decent products for use with real black or subs. When you are going to put it away for long term try WD-40 Specialist Long Term Protection. The stuff is excellent at preventing rust but should be swabbed out when you do get ready to shoot again. Its cheap compared to gun oils and one of the best in tests ive seen [url=https://www.homedepot.com/p/WD-40-SPECIALIST-6-5-oz-Long-Term-Corrosion-Inhibitor-300035/300719560]https://www.homedepot.com/p/WD-40-SPECI ... /300719560[/url] [/QUOTE]
