fired the saiga today... few questions


Recommended Posts

ok, so i fired 15 rounds through the saiga(all slugs, winchester model and 1 rd of nobel sport buckshot)

 

is the barrel supposed to be all scratched up inside? i mean ive never handled a shotgun before this one, so i dont know... just makes me a little worried. can anyone confirm or deny this?

Don't confuse scratched up with "skid marks".

 

Regardless of slugs or not, there's still a "wad" there.

 

Anyway....best tip I have on that is to own a "Bore Snake"....best investment I've made for a barrel cleaning yet. Compare before and after you pull it through there.

 

I think you'll find it shows the truth on what is or isnt scratched.

Easy to find... Walmart even has it I believe...

 

Simple google search: Bore snake

tip: "machine" washable can also mean the dishwasher ;) . Less problem with it getting tangled everywhere :)

If your going to use CLP or whatever, place a few squirts around the bristle part of the snake -not the fuzzy part (less mess and works great).
