Benelli SUper Black II

[Mark A Thompson]

Just purchased a Black Eagle II, in the Matte Black Finish, and would like to know what is best to clean the barrel before assembly??? It appears to be a grease ,that the regular cleaning doesn`t remove.

thanks

I like using borescruuber for my initial cleaning and then for metal parts I really like electrical contact cleaner, avaiable at electronic or auto parts stores. It remooves all grease and residue and does not leave anything behind. After that a DROP of teflon based oil on metal to metal contact rails and just a wipe with an oily cloth on metal. Ditto for the barrel. I also like to get silicone gel packs I save them from items that I puuchase, heat them in an oven at 150F for about half an hore to regenerate them. Put them in a cloth sac or old cotton tube sock and leave them in you gun case. The sock I usually leave oiled lightly on one side( just a spray) so I use it to wipe down the gun after each day. Use a case with a gasket too.

Mark,

I am happy with the following products to clean and lube my SBEII.
M-PRO 7 (http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=18373&title=M-PRO+7+PRODUCTS) to clean the gun.

I purchased Slip2000 Piston & Choke Tube Cleaner (http://www.mpcsports.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=490) and use FP-10 for oiling the gun. Shooter Choice is licensed to use the FP-10 oil. You can get FP-10 Lubricant (http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=13900&title=BORE+CLEANER) at Brownells stock number 934-110-004. CheaperThanDirt also carries the FP-10 oil.

BTW: Are you talking about the outside of the barrel or the inside of the barrel?

Hope this helps. -threeshot
