  • cleaning a 12 gauge

    i have a mossberg model 88 mavkerick 12 gauge pump.
    i was cleaning it with a wool pad down the barrel and cloth wipes(cleaning kit)
    do i have to oil up the action? every other gun cleaning kit ive boughten has had the gun oil in it but this doesnt have any liquids.

    also how should i go about cleaning the action? i just wiped everything down primarily. thanks
    The confusion surrounds me <br />change is imminent<br />if I were they<br />we could be great

    Did you use any kind of solvent to clean the barrel/chamber out?

    I've never broken down a mossberg before, but if you know how and it can be done easily I'd grease the pump and oil the sear/hammer/firing pin.

    You'll need to buy some if it didn't come with any.


    FYI, RemOil and BreakFreeCLP do not contain any kind of solvent.

        You'll need the solvent to dissolve the carbon fouling from the burnt gun powder, but it's not as big of a deal since your barrel doesn't have any rifling.

        Any gun solvent/barrel cleaner, and gun lube, will work.

          Ive never broked down a mossberg. But with my Ithaca usually, if I havent shot it a lot, or Im carrying a gun regularly during hunting season, I just scrub out the barrel and wipe down everything with an oiled rag. I break the gun down at the end of the season for a full cleaning, or if Ive had a good day and shot it A LOT, or the weather was really bad and the action gets gunked up.
