You want your shotgun to last for years. Let the Gun Care People show you how to clean it. Please see our website for more information on Hoppe’s Products: www.hoppes.com/
I use the big bulbous brush and wrap the patch around THAT to make sure I get a uniform touch all the way around the barrel. I stick it in the beginning, and twist back and forth moving VERY SLOWLY down the barrel until I get to the end. Takes about 5 mins for each run down the barrel but it takes WAY LESS patches to get it clean and it's always a uniform connection all the way around the barrel.
I’ve been taking the entire thing down and dreading cleaning each time. It never occurred to me to just take the barrel off and call it a day. Especially now that it’s considered a deep clean. 👍🏻
I use to be like that until I figured out what I was doing wrong. The Otis system is the best but anything will do. What you need is a really tight fitting patch and Otis kit comes with these rubber jags that is really tight. Anyway what you do is wet a patch, unscrew it, put a bronze brush on, unscrew it, then pass a dry patch. Keep doing that until you get a clear patch and wipe the rod or cord down after each pass. Gets the bore spotlessly cleaned and patches eventually come out completely clear.
The circular cotton rounds you find in the makeup/skincare section at Walmart are the best things I have found to clean a shotgun. After continuously running those worthless patches through, I tried those rounds, they are big enough to mantain pressure against the walls and the cotton does a great job at picking up the buildup in the barrel.
Just got through cleaning my o/u shotgun barrels with #9. Had to stop patching and brushing after one hour because I just got tired, not because the barrel was clean. Soaked all my patches and brush. Patch three times with a jag after soaking 15 minutes, patches were all black. Brushed five times, then patched three more times and all patches were black. Repeated. The patches were black to very dark. Repeated. Patches were black to dark again. Cleaned the choke tubes and tube insert area. Ran dry patches and barrel looked OK, so brush again and patches. Patches were black to grey. Dryed the barrels with Barrel Blaster, then lubed and quit. That’s why I watched this video which appears to get a clean barrel after only three patches. It appears that the gun had been previously cleaned before the demo, or only one round was fired through it. Still looking for a way to quickly, thoroughly clean my barrels. This time I cleaned after only 200 rounds, but typically it might be up to 500.
I have a brand new Remington 870 field master I have only shot 7 target loads through it and I went to clean it and the patches keep on coming out a brown color and I let the break free clp set for about 25 minutes and I repeated this for 3 times and they are still coming out brown I used the bronze brush in between the patches and it doesent help but I looked inside the barrel with a bore light and it looks completely clean
wrap patch with Hoppes #9 Or OIl on bore brush 1st #9 thru bore on brush two patches do not run back thru use clean one. Wait few minutes put dry patches thru then one with Oil the wipe rest gun. Then wiping #9 in actions & bolt face. Wipe off then lightly oil. Patches not on brushes miss a lot can cause pitting. On auto shotguns Hoppes #9 on gas piston and magazine tube then dry paper towel & lite oil them. Total time8-10 minutes
I believe one needs to use something other than the "patch" - something that vigorously rubs the patch soaked with #9 against the barrel walls. The "patch" in this video is basically worthless as it doesn't make uniform contact with the inside of the barrel. I agree with "sandbuiltdreams' - you could run 100 of the patches you used in the video and still not really clean the barrel!
Maybe once a year to once every six months. If you aren’t using it very often, it’s best to just make sure it stays lubricated. No need to excessively clean a gun you don’t take out too often, if anything that can shorten the lifespan of your shotgun or any other firearm.
That has got to be the absolute worst tutorial on how tk clean a firearm especially from Hoppes… what about the bolt and taking apart the trigger group?????

Not what I would call. “Deep Clean”
40 patches later... it’s never clean.
Lol same here,never like new

No joke!
Rip up so nice cloth works alot better then those patches

It would be cool to see a video on cleaning choke tube barrel threads
Hoppe's 9 the best for removing Plastic fouling without a doubt . I have tried many others Hoppe's 9 wins hands down
Wd40 soak then a tornado brush...
Thank you for sharing 👍

My bad I have been putting the patch over the brush & running that through the barrel with either #9 or oil on the patch.
How come some channels say never use a brush first, use a patch and then a brush ?

Love my shotguns, nothing more just taking the barrel out and cleaning and lubing it.

My shotgun have a choke do I need to remove it before I run the bore snake or any brush?
Nope you should be good to go
how often should i do this if im not using the shotgun all that often?

Just taking the barrow off looks easy instead of other parts off looks ok to clean .

Why do all these companies have music so high and the Audio soft when the speaker sounds like he’s seducing the mic
NO MUSIC ,JUST ACTION.
I like how they skipped the 52 patches it would've taken to get to the clean rag patch LoLz
This is a deep clean?
Too much oil in a auto loader will freeze up the action when hunting duck late season... light on the oil boys. light on the oil.
Seems easy enough. And in 12
"Deep clean", alright
Right? Didn't even bother taking it apart
Bore snake?
Bore snakes work fine. Used them multiple times
I prefer to use the bore snake but I'm open to other cleaning methods.
this is a every day you shoot it clean up. not a deep clean as title suggests. can't believe this guy from Hoppes doesn't know how to patch clean.
