Cleaning your shotgun


Something I’ve been slacking on lately is cleaning my shotgun. As much as I shoot it, I need to focus more on cleaning it. When cleaning my over/under I like to use this thing called a bore snake. I think it’s one of the greatest firearm accessories ever invented. A bore snake essentially is a long cloth tube that has a built-in wire brush and a string with a weight at the end. To clean the barrel, spray solvent on the “Fluffy” part of the snake then insert the weighted string through the breach (back of the barrel) then pull the rest of the bore snake through. Do that a couple of times and you’re done.
