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.

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

[@haydnjenkins7607]

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.

[@LeaLeasCountryLife]

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

[@Scooter-dm3qo]

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.

[@LeaLeasCountryLife]

[@wajahatali2717]

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.

[@LeaLeasCountryLife]

Good idea thank you

[@wajahatali2717]

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.

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).
