Description

0:00 pump shotgun 2:29 rifle 10:18 side by side More cleaning and more oil can quietly ruin a gun. I show you why, and what I learned after fifty years behind a gunsmith’s bench. I explain how salt, water, humidity, condensation, and corrosive primers damage firearms, why chasing a white patch can wear a rifle’s crown, and when to clean from the breech instead of the muzzle. I also cover the right way to use fresh water, dry rags, cleaning rods, pull-through cords, grease, and oil. I’ll show you how thin lubrication prevents rust without creating sludge, freezing actions, or damaging wooden stocks. I also take a look at a side by side that spent over sixty years in salt air and still has its bluing because it was cleaned right—not cleaned more.
