Is Your Gun Stiff?

[@mikeblast7507]

The fact that new guns are stiff and stay stiff is a testament to the fine tolerances to which they’re manufactured. It’s not a flaw, it’s a sign of quality.

A lot of people do not lubricate there guns ,if you don't its going to wear fast and loosen .its a moving mechanise it needs oiling and greasing ! but it mush be cleaned before .

[@nicholasbaker2904]

Every gun I buy. Pistol. Shotgun etc. The first thing I do is a deep disassemble/clean. Bc ive had brand new guns with terrible packing grease and rust already (looking at you sig). Then lube effectively. I use Teflon gun grease in friction spots and oil all external metal. This is mostly my own opinion but has served me well for the 25yrs I've had some of my firearms.

[@piff1988]

Great video, I bought a Browning B525 Laminate a couple of weeks ago, it is was too stiff for my liking. Was thinking about having it loosened but after watching this video I realised I just need to get out and shoot more!! Doing about 250 rounds every fortnight.

[@dhruvshah7545]

My hatsan was stiff for few years. Now it's nice and free. This Sunday lower firing pin broke.

[@CitizenKate]

My Yildiz SPZ ME12 was so stiff out of the box I strained a shoulder tendon trying to work the break action my first day shooting it. After about 150 shells through it, it's loosened up a bit, but still has a way to go yet before I can use it effortlessly. It is a joy to shoot, though, so I'll soldier on with it. It's good to know a stiff action is a sign of tight tolerances that will provide quality service in the long term.

[@alexdudley8617]

Just bought a new DT11 and have only 850 rounds through it. When new the gun was insanely tight as was the fore end. It was near impossible to open. InitialIy I cleaned the factory grease from it and I clean it after each day's shooting. I have learned two things that are helpful. When opening and closing the gun hold it with the side parallel to the ground and pull the barrels toward your waist. When closing hold it in the same way and push the barrels away from your waist. This allows you tp apply more strength to the movements. To close hold the top lever open and gently close the gun, releasing the top lever when it is closed...DO NOT SLAM THE GUN CLOSED! I use a light greas on the bearing and mating surfaces

[@williamcollins2327]

The factory lube is designed to insulate the gun from corrosion more than lubricating the bearing surfaces. As the gun is cycled, the lube is replaced by the lubricants added by the user over time. The process can be expedited by using a cleaning lubricant initially and switching to a lithium based lubricant after the gun gets to the point of effortless use.

[@leighhoffman9425]

I’ve just bought a new yildiz and it’s pretty stiff, would you recommend to straight away give it a clean and light grease of the breech? Thanks

[@devenzang9550]

I bought a cheap over and under less than 750 so it wasn’t anything spectacular. You could barely brake it open over your knee. I put maybe 100-200 shells through it a year. So rather than spend the next 10-20 years to get to that loosened up, it was loosened up so I can actually try to enjoy it over the next 5-10 years haha

[@ooyginyardel4835]

I put Honda 60% molybdenum disulfide grease on every part associated with the “hinge” and tang of a CZ All American trap and it worked miracles. That gun was stiffer than you could imagine, and now it is very tolerable.

[@andyman820]

Ooh good idea, I have that same model and have only put 4-500 rounds through it so far. It's greased with gun grease but still super stiff. How many rounds do you think it took for the action to get right? Mine is so stiff it's tiring

[@MalcolmPowder]

You don't service a car every year if it's had little use. The same is true for a gun. Better advice would be to service it every X,000 cartridges or Y years (whichever happens sooner). What X and Y are probably depends on the gun.

[@fyraiett]

What? If you don’t service a newer car xxxx miles or at least every year you will lose your warranty! At least in Sweden.

[@Bass1923]

He actually said to service it once per year. If you shoot a lot, service it twice a year. So once a year is the minimum.

[@smokinbutts2]

I clean and grease my gun every time I use it

[@s-clan5266]

Actually yes you should, a car is a bad analogy as certain fluids in a car should be replaced within certain timeframes regardless of the use.

[@johnh8197]

Thanks for another great video. I have a new Browning Hunter grade 1. Unless it was fired at the factory, I’m the only person to have shot it so far. I think it’s nicely solid “Stiff”. I have just at 250 rounds fired. I really hope it never loosens up. I like the stiffness. Yeah, I know, if I keep shooting it, it will loosen up. But I’ll have a blast doing it.

[@lusitanooutdoorchannel680]

My father is thinking about giving me his old 1975 Franchi Alcione. And it was used constantly for 47 years. The barrels are ever so slightly loose and the top lever is moving towards the left side of the action. The gun will probably need new hinge disks. However it is still safe to shoot

[@Jolly56Roger]

if its tight i.e. on the face when you take the forend off it should be OK, if not it will want tightening😉😉

[@donavonrobbins1908]

Have it tightened for him as a father's day gift. Then it'll be ready to go when you inherit it ultimately..;)

[@Tedcz2e]

My Lanber was difficult to open from new. I finally used grease on all bearing services and this was an improvement. This grease is cleaned and renewed after each use. I also use a thin oil elsewhere. Opening is also helped by taking the weight of the barrels, the top lever is then easier to move. The gun has mechanical triggers that are cocked on opening so this increases the effort to completely open the gun.

[@bigtruckbrad]

Thank you for the info. I have a 3 year old Browning Citori White Lighting. It is getting close to 2000 round count and is starting to loosen up.

An American is visiting London. He decides to go into Holland & Holland to see what all the fuss is about. "I'd like to have a look at that side-by-each you've got there", he says to the less than amused clerk while pointing to a Royal Deluxe on display. Handed the gun he proceeds to open and close it a few times. "Gee", he says, "This shotgun is awfully stiff". The clerk, trying to maintain an aura of professionalism says, "Sir, our usual clients are not accustomed to opening their own guns".

[@black5f]

Too much oil will attract dust and that will make it stiff. When I get a new gun I clean off all the oil as it's often too viscous. As another poster mentioned, factory lube is normally far too thick and has corrosion inhibitors for transport. Nothing wrong about that but a good clean and a very light bearing oil applied sparingly, like sewing machine oil, like 3 in 1, but not too much and just a bit, don't drench.

[@fredmarshall6240]

I use a special grease made for the receiver and apply a little amount on all of the hinging points and sides every time before I shoot.

However, I just started shooting. j also joined a club and I'd like to not look like a complete amateur on the firing line and more like a pro while unloading it.

[@Spectrum_Auto_Spa]

My Mossberg silver reserve is super stiff. It's a budget gun i know. However the stiff action required extra force to open and close during a match. The end result was me cracking the stock. I waited 2 years on eBay to find a replacement stock.

My 7 year old gun is still stiff to open and close. I've only had maybe 500-600 cartridges through it in the 18 months I've had it and the previous owner probably the same before it went in to storage. i'm looking forward to when it's run in and gives that satisfying snap when you close it.

[@2202molly]

I bought a new Browning 525, from my local shooting school in January. I shoot once a week, sometimes twice. I average 150 cartridges per week. I have found recently the gun is fine BUT when the bottom barrel gets hot, the fore end develops about 2mm of play at the "muzzle end". So HOT barrels is resulting in 2-3 mm of play at the schnable end - it's almost like I can push the "beak" of the wood inward towards the barrel, and it makes a clicking noise when I do. Once the barrels cool down, the problem disappears...... Action nice and tight, but forend is junk!

[@StikkyWood]

Just a guess, but I would say it's the wood moving when heated. Have you had it back to the shop?

[@englandthesod]

Yep… got a 30 year old bettinsoli and loose as hell. And 2021 beretta stiff af… need to put more through it 👍

[@prebaned]

With the Browing citoris it just crazy hown they hammer on the forend and havevthe customer use thier knees to break open as normal. Simply won't tolerate a $4000USD that tight for 2k rounds. The back side of the barrel lug needs a few light swipes of a fine file or stone. The lockup has nothing to do with the stiffness. It's the forend iron radius to tight against the receiver radius that makes it so stiff.

[@MrBonzer2000]

Thanks. That really helps.

Have you heard of any issues with the ejectors? Otherwise I'm loving this gun!

If you really want to see a stiff gun you should try with new Baikal/ mp27. Got mine 2011 and by God needed a my both hands force to close it. Nowa days after few thousands of cartridges it's still stiff and if I don't clap it with bit of a force it wouldn't close.
