This is my first takedown case. How do folks keep oil and grease off the case when breaking down the shotgun? Do you wrap the barrel/ reciever/stock in something or clean the gun off after each use?

The receiver doesn't have any real exposed areas that make contact with the case. While one could wrap/cover the receiver end of the barrel, I don't keep excessive amounts of oil/grease on it to make enough of a difference requiring special attention.

Personally I haven't had any issues with transfer of grease to the case. As long as there isn't an excessive amount on your receiver you should be fine

Well I don't usually have all that much oil and grease on my shotguns. But I do also use gun socks for the barrel and the stock when they are in the case.
324185
I leave the stock/receiver end as is, the lube is shielded behind the external surfaces of this section. I put a zip-lock type plastic bag over the barrel, receiver end, to prevent transfer of any lube into the soft material of the case. Cover both ends if your gun is such that both ends could transfer lube to the case.

May sound silly but I inlay a thin piece of wax coated cardboard into the case @ I don't have to wipe all the grease from gun. This is on the receiver end of the barrel

Definitely not a problem. I've used this stuff for 4 years. I realized very quickly that in most cleaning situations I can use just a little of the product. I'll soak the inside of the barrel and let it sit. Everywhere else just gets a wipe down. If I do an indepth cleaning I might use a little more on the firing pin and wipe it off really good. I remove any oil reside with dry worn out cotton shirts and reapply one tiny little dot / dab of oil on one contact point and spread it to the other contact points with my finger or cue-tip. I use VERY little to accomplish this. It's not good to leave any part of your gun "oily" as that is a place for grit/grime/carbon to build up rapidly. Definitely not a problem.

I screw a patch onto the squeegee and oil it up... It leaves a nice light coat when drawn through the barrel. I go shooting too much for long term storage to be of concern but if that's what you're looking for, I don't think this kit will help you much there.

None of the above. 98% of all the experts say that you should never have to clean the barrel of a pellet rifle. I bought the oil because I have a nitro piston and regular pell gun oil isn't supposed to be used in it.

Hello. Question: are you using a drop of pellet gun oil on the puncture end of the CO2 canister? If not, I would recommend doing this. Even using the oil, I empty the CO2 and remove the canister before storing the pistol. Good luck and hope this helps.

That is used to clean the barrel of the gun, when paintballs explode in the gun. It's just a quick fix and you should properly clean your gun whenever you get the chance to. Hope that helped.

Call the manufacturer of the rifle. My Gamo says no. It says to use their oil. Silicone based I believe. Or something like that?I would contact the creator of the rifle to be sure. I used the oil to bring the outside of an old pellet gun back to life. Worked wellbut I didn't put it in the barrel. Troy

The foam is one time use only. Once you remove the foam pieces there's no going back. You can add to your gun... It's the taking off that's the issue.

Without buying an actual cleaning kit, my best advice would be to gently wipe it off with a micro fiber towel or cloth. All the same, I'd buy either a cleaning kit which will have everything you need, or gun oil. A small drop or two every 4-6 inches on both sides of the blade will help keep oxidation to a minimum. It just needs a small coat of oil every once in while. Nothing drastic.

Cleaning the gun can help remove any discharge that accumulates. I clean it after a couple days just to keep it in good working order. If it continues you might want to take it in for service; sometimes it could be something else only a qualified service location can address.

After cooled, strain oil into a plastic or glass jug & refrigerate. Can be used many times until looks or smells off.I use Weiman Gas Range Degreaser on the outside & it cleans it like brand new with very little effort.

Not sure. We don't have any issues. Are you using good quality bbs? You may want to clean the barrel with some silicone lubricant or light oil. To do this, take magazine out and fire the gun a few times to empty out any bbs. Take the battery out. Shine a flashlight in the magazine well and look down the barrel to see if there is any debris on the sides of the barrel. Clean as necessary. Hope this helps.

Keeping the barrel clean is the important thing... Even at the range you should pass a couple of patches through it and after using your gun give it a good barrel cleaning... a neglected and pitted barrel is the end of that gun.. These patches are a great part of the cleaning sequence that needs to be maintained. Guns are like your teeth: Neglect them and they'll soon be useless.

Keep it cased! At least until you get yo where you are playing or shooting. Remember the police are here to protect us (hopefully). Help them by not brandishing your weapon.

Use clear nail polish. I didn't the first time and the dog on my gun fell off after I shot it.

I put 2 drops of case lube in a large Tupperware bowel. I add 150-200 9mm case's and mix by hand until they feel even. Less oil is better than too much. As for a .308 round. Isn't that a rifle round? Might be a bit tall. Not sure. .380 dies will work.
