Shotgun cleaning

[juststarting]

Mythbuters demonstrated that you can in fact polish turd!

new or used?

Lol, new. Just spray some crc or solent on it and because the paper is mildly abrasive ( I buy cheap paper. Lol) it removes most of the gunk in 2 or 3 wipes.

I thought they had a blue over because Adam was polishing with a turd, not polishing one itself.

Highly important science to get the facts about clear

I am extremely particular when it comes to cleaning my shotguns to the point where, after each shoot I clean the gun until the inside of the barrels are mirror clean. I have recently purchased a new Beretta 692 and i have tried almost everyway possible to clean it but cannot seem remove the plastic from the bore completely. I have tried the boresnake,bronze brush,presoaked the bore with all the recomended products aswell as the drill down the bore trick. I have even made a special brush just for this purpose but havent yet succeeded. Even the guys at the gun store where ive purchased have had a go but found it a challenge and were going to ask the gunsmiths at beretta for some ideas. Does anyone out there have any thoughts on what else i could try?

Toilet paper wrapped around a nylon brush works for me

Sounds like trying to save money on a colonoscopy

Yeah thanks mate

Acetone will do it well. You just need to be real careful not to get in on any timber as it'll eat the finish obviously.

Ok thats probably my next move. Is it safe to use in case i get a bit on the bluing?

Kero or white spirit. Also "edds red" isnt too bad as a general firearm cleaner/solvent
