No idea how many arguments I’ve had about using grease vs oil. How folks can’t understand that oil by definition flows as is meant to be replenished from a reservoir is mind boggling. Also it’s important to remember that grease comes in different weights. Generally I use a 0 weight on firearms except for bolt action locking lugs that do see very high sheer forces. A toothpick dab of 3-4 weight grease works well. Generally I like to use Q-tips to apply 👍🏼👍🏼
Have a silver pigeon, gets cleaned every time I use it and use the beretta white grease , everything gets some the fore end latch , behind ejectors , ejector spring on end , around the knuckles , on the locking lugs and around the mating surface ,also feed wood with some beretta wood oil
brilliant film lloyd,i clean my 525 after every outing.only one thing to mention,at the start of your film,i thought is that brandy or boiled linseed oil,got the answer at the end😂😂.keep up the good work and stay safe.
Que un profesional como tu no sepa dónde se engrasan las armas me sorprende,porque dejas de hacerlo en uno de los sitios más importantes, que es en donde el arma realiza el cierre, que es donde, en caso de la perazzi entran los muñones ,es decir la parte trasera del cañón donde se realiza el cierre al entrar la llamada H. Si no se hace, en poco tiempo la palanca de apertura se sitúa en el centro debido al desgaste del cierre, y en ese caso habrá que proceder al cambio de la pieza denominada H. Saludos.
I would just add a few comments please. 1) I ALWAYS clean my shotgun after every outing. 2) I wipe all mating surfaces( the bearing surfaces) with a clean tissue, even after only a few shots you will see the grease is dirty, dirt equals wear. 3) I recommend SUPER LUBE. multi purpose synthetic grease, it is relatively expensive but lasts YEARS and is clear so you can see the dirt when you wipe the bearing surfaces.. 4) put just the minimum grease on the ejector kickers and other surfaces as no point in wiping the excess off. 5)Remember a lubricant is stopping two surfaces from ACTUALLY touching , there fore minimising wear.
Hi Lloyd thanks for the reply I think in the uk Rizzini is still very game gun orientated in the uk I think you would like BR as you seem to like the bigger clay guns. I also like to shoot something a bit different that you don’t see very often on the clay grounds I like the drop out tigger 10mm parallel took a bit of getting use to. I’ve had a lot of the really good clay guns F3 pro dt10 & invictius. Guns are like whisky they are all good but some are better the others. Cheers Greg
Nice video, thank you for your efforts. I have a question please. I can not get that grease you mentioned, but could I use the "Mobil XHP222" grease (the blue one)?
No idea what else it could possibly mean... 😳I am in that hardcore cleaning camp, I even tend to give them a rub down and a re-lube even if they’ve just been sat a while just so I can check it all over, I’m very particular about my guns. Great vid though dude, always love a proper maintenance vid.
Thought what the hell, I’ll click. Rewarded with the most thorough explanation and demonstration of the application of grease on the net. Gotta tip my hat to you!
Grease or oil I don’t care folks but you need to do it. Recently found tiny orange specks deep inside on the hinge pins. Broken clays obviously so don’t assume it never happens clean and lube your guns you paid hard earned money for them.
Great video: delivered with modesty and true experience. Very helpful for a new shooter wishing to preserve his gun for years to come - especially given the cost. Keep up the good work and hope you reach the subscribers target.
Another beast video thanks ! Just bought a brand spanking new 694 and I’m looking for info on how to prepare it for use (remove the shipping grease etc). Thanks !
Thanks so much for this! I had no idea where to start with grease and oil, but your demonstration was clear and well-explained. I used a white lithium grease stick and some Rem oil. I think I used too much grease in places where it wasn't needed, but wiped it off. It is a brand new 20 ga OU Beretta, and I was having some trouble breaking it open and closing it. I followed your instructions and now it works like a dream. Also, as some of the other comments mention, you don't come across as a smug know-it-all like so many other videos, and I appreciate that.
Thanks for the feedback. Don't worry about too much grease, whatever excess just squeezes out and you can wipe it off. As long as you keep an eye on it and change the grease when it gets dirty just like you would change the oil in your car.
I bought the 725 Sporting a year ago or so and it's been super tight since day one. I have oiled and greased as you have shown here too. In fact a friend of mine bought one on the same day as I did from the same shop and his was so tight that a piece of the wood from the forearm broke off as he was detaching the barrell from the action. Now he has to send the entire gun back to Browning. Is this level of tightness normal? We have both shot 1000 rounds or more and they have barely loosened up.
Lloyd as a new shooter I really enjoy your videos and love the gun reviews. Used them to help narrow down my choices of ones to look at so thanks for that. Is the grease in your link still the same stuff as it looks like a big tub compared to yours?
Hi, firstly thank you :). The grease is not the same as the Pronatur stuff I use is not available online anywhere. This is an equivalent grease, and that tub will last a lifetime.
Where can I find this grease in Canada? Can you recommend similar product, because Comma GR2500G Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease is not available right now in Canada. Thanks.
Good advice! However, you must change your oil!!!! In the last 20 years there has been significant improvement in lubricants! Oil is CHEAP when compared to a Perazzi. Cheers. Good shooting and Merry Christmas.
Having trouble finding the clear engineering grease you mention in your excellent video. Can you confirm the name and/or provide a weblink please - thanks :-)
I think you used the term 'engineering grease' but what is it and where do we get it? Is it an over the counter item which has a brand name or type? Good video though and as I have the same Browning I took extra attention.
I bought a Browning Ultra xs in Nov 2022, I have put a few thousand shells through it, still was stiff as a board, I was using 3 in 1 oil to lubricate it once a week, went online to forums asking for advice on why it's still stiff to break the barrels open, was bombarded with the same advice, buy rubbing compound and polish the contact points to wear them in etc, watched this video and saw the grease so did that today and its now spot on, breaks easily with a flick of the thumb release, well played sir well played indeed.
Awesome video! New to the sport, just purchased an ATA 686B 12G over/under shotgun, and have also just watched your comparison and thoughts, again, great unbiased video, newly subscribed 👍 Cheers from Australia
Have you tried shooters gold it was developed for the military its great i have DT 11 I found out the easy way to take out trigger just the same way you did but you don't need the barrels on and it comes right out and in thanks love your RUclips videos ☝️☝️☝️
Hi Lloyd, a wise man told me to look for Pronatur engineer grease, which is what yours looks like (but can't find it anywhere to buy!). The stuff in your link isn't the same. Any tips on where to get the same stuff as you, as I've heard it's the nuts! Loving the content, 20 vids down, plenty more to go :D Oh, and congrats on breaking the 10k mark! :D
Fairly sure I was already subbed, but on checking, I wasn’t. Now fixed. A good video, Lloyd. Thank you. A question please if I may? Cleaning choke threads, how? Especially the internal threads inside the barrel? Your adventure would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
On the choke if there is carbon build up I use solvol autosol on a cloth, just grip the choke with the cloth impregnated with polish and rotate. Then polish off with a clean cloth. Internally, one the chokes are removed use a Payne Galway chamber brush with some bore solvent on it and rotate in the direction of the thread. Then polish out with clean 2x4 on a Jag or an old phosphor bronze brush. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BHPV5SP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_-b76FbQNPPNZ2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Cheers, Lloyd. Yank from Florida, USA here. Nice video; I like your style of explaining things . I have a Browning Lightning Sporting Clay's 12 GA. that I bought new about 2 decades or so ago. I haven't shot it for about 10 years, but prior to that, used it weekly for sporting clays and 5-stand. It probably has had a couple thousand shells through it, mostly Remington Dove & Quail field loads. The gun has been well maintained, and properly lubricated, but has never really loosened up... The hinge is almost as stiff today as when I first brought it home. I'm reluctant to have anyone "loosen" it up, since I'm concerned that they might overdo it. The gun shoots really well (I did respectably well in many competitions) and I'm planning on getting back into the sport. Any suggestions?
Thanks! From USA California, bought a b694 ACS based on your reviews of the 694. Shot it for the first time this weekend, Shoots like a dream. Best Wishes. N
Excellent content...50 or 250...clean them EVERY TIME...a fine shotgun is a legacy...as much proof of your existence on this planet as your children & grandchildren when it’s passed from you to the next generation...
Evenin' Lloyd. Popping into say hi now that subscribed. Browning man? Well done :D I use Tetra but have seen some wear marks appear on the 525 over the 5 years I've had it. Would you recommend regular grease over this ?
Evening. Well technically I'm a Perazzi man, I also own a Browning :). Nowt wrong with tetra but it's Manky expensive when it's no better than regular lithium or PTFE engineering grease.
Thanks Lloyd. Just subscribed. Any chance on how you clean your barrel and chokes. I clean mine and my wife’s o/u after every outing. Only cleaning I do she says. 🙄
@@lloydyp Wow thanks for replyng to a year old video. For sure Subbed! Yeah its the fore end that has the lever latch. its not very big just a small amount.
I’m constantly pulling my guns out to admire them practice mounting and what not and make sure there looking good and well oiled if I had the guns you have I might sleep with them lol
A good phrase I heard, mainly for machinery is : grease is cheaper than metal. Tbh, I clean my gun every time I use it, whether one shot or a hundred shots, I renew the grease every time, it's a tiny bit of extra work for a bit of fresh grease. I f it looks dirty, then there's already crud in there working away like a bit of valve lapping paste....
@@lloydyp I've put so far off buying some second hand guns, even expensive ones, that when you look down the bores there's all those black streaks of powder residue that's clearly not from one use😅
Hi, I use a grease product branded as Inox PTFE on all the bearing surfaces where as with sliding parts such as ejectors, choke threads and cocking slides in the receiver, I use an aerosol lithium grease from CRC as it’s the only one in Aus that I can find with a application straw. Without a straw it makes too big a mess. I use lithium grease as it’s rated for high temp and extreme pressure. The Inox MX6 grease is a”clear” food grade product and comes in a small tube.
Thanks Mark I am recommending this grease in the UK, not sure if aailable in OZ www.amazon.co.uk/Comma-GR2500G-Multi-Purpose-Lithium-Grease/dp/B002E2QM6S/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=comma+lithium+grease&link_code=qs&qid=1604911411&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-5&tag=firefox-uk-21
@@lloydyp Thanks Lloyd, its not a product readily available here and the reason I use an aerosol is unlike the solid form, the aerosol is expelled in a solution which rapidly evaporates but gets it into tight places that the solid type cant. The tube "solid" product is good for all the exposed surfaces
Great video! I am newb when it comes to the maintenance of o/u; however, your description of of “friction” helped a lot in understanding the points of concern! Even your comments on fore arms was excellent! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Hi Lloyd really enjoy your channel thought about doing it myself, but after watching your lockdown chat with Johnny from TGS our shooting background sound very familiar especially when you spoke about handguns as that was my main passion to handed in 14 pistol/ revolvers as I shot police pistol 1500 service A & B etc.. Still do firearms but claying is what I’m competitive at theses days I would be interested if you ever get a chance to review a Rizzini BR440 or 460 as I’ve just picked up a 440 32 inch adjustable sporter ,Rizzini not so big for comp guns in the uk. Im interested on your thoughts and also the TGS yildz pro black looks fantastic for the money although not seen one to handle yet but seems a lot of gun for the cash, would love to come up to Bywell sometime for a shoot & a chat. All the Best Greg
I've actually toured the Rizzini factory and handled the BR while I was there. Unfortunately I've had zero engagement from the UK distributor with regard to sending me a press gun. 🤷♂️
Very much enjoyed the new video Lloyd ! Like the new intro to your fantastic channel I was very lucky to get a trip at Purdey 4 years ago, there I was told vaseline was the best thin to us. So I’ve been us it & it works well sir. My 725 pro sport is deep cleaned every weekend 👍
Hello Lloyd, I am new to shooting so I am probably going to ask a question you have answer 100 times already. What is the name of the grease you use in this video. I found gun grease but it is black and I think clear is a good idea. 👍
I recently got my License and I am watching all your video. Your content is great and I am so fortunate that i have opportunity to learn from your experience!! Thank you so much And if you could advise I am in market for Shotgun and i have shortlisted DT11 & Perazzi. What do you prefer?
DT11 or Perazzi as a first gun ? Truthfully I'm not convinced you will appreciate either of them if they're your first gun. You should spend some time shooting before going that deep in on expenditure of the those tier of guns. You don't know what you do or don't like to shoot..
Lloyd, good quick video. I started lubing, then moved to oil. Think I'd best go back to lube. Question - can you do a video for storing a gun long term?? I've got my SxS that I want to hand down to my lad, but that won't be for poss 5 years.
A no nonsense video gets a thumbs up from me 👍
Thanks Paul.

I use GT85 because its cheap and works well it also contains PTFE, and is safe on wood and plastics, also a bit of Silicon Grease on the joints.
Yeahhh, only half way through but I like this. I will be giving it a go myself thanks mate. Subbed and liked, sent to other shooting friends.
I would just add a few comments please. 1) I ALWAYS clean my shotgun after every outing.

Thank you sir.
Me too.
Absolutely clean all my firearms after every shooting session and regularly in storage
Same here 🤙😎
I use a high temp grease on my choke tubes. I rarely change the choke tube and I don't want it to fuse to the barrel. But hey, I'm a weirdo. 🤘💥💥🤘

Aye Edward king doesn’t give a toss about clay shooting. Shame I think Rizzini could do well in the uk with a bit of marketing.
Yes I think you are right the guns could do well as they are built well & have a good fit & finish to them
Great information. Cheers!

Tight enough to snap the fire end seems a bit extreme but 1000 shells is barely starting to break a gun in to be fair.
Thanks....seen it now and have ordered some, used Blaser own brand on my F3....really expensive
You can buy enough grease for the entirety of the rest of your life for 20 quid.
Bit of advice please, the brake action lever on my 912k is very stiff and sticky. I do clean it reguarly and lightly lube it every other time i shoot
Can’t really comment without seeing the gun sorry.
I imagine the internals of the action (hammers, inertia block, etc) just get some machine oil once a year?
Unless it gets wet, I never take my stock off. It gets lubed when it gets serviced.

Evenin' Lloyd. Popping into say hi now that subscribed. Browning man? Well done :D I use Tetra but have seen some wear marks appear on the 525 over the 5 years I've had it. Would you recommend regular grease over this ?
Evening. Well technically I'm a Perazzi man, I also own a Browning :). Nowt wrong with tetra but it's Manky expensive when it's no better than regular lithium or PTFE engineering grease.
FYR a good place to get small quantities of Oil and Grease at a good price is = 'C Bennis supplies and services' Southport, on ebay.
or Amazon
Thanks Lloyd. Just subscribed.
Any chance on how you clean your barrel and chokes.
I clean mine and my wife’s o/u after every outing. Only cleaning I do she says. 🙄
I got you covered: ruclips.net/video/-QoYPhsxVaU/видео.html
My front grip after it's put back as a minute play in it... is this normal?
Assuming you meant; my fore end has a little play in it. It depends what you mean by a little play. However it’s easy to sort if it’s excessive.
@@lloydyp Wow thanks for replyng to a year old video. For sure Subbed! Yeah its the fore end that has the lever latch. its not very big just a small amount.
@@bryanf6210 a tiny bit of movement under spring tension is fine, any lateral play or excessive vertical movement is not.
Ótima espingarda adorei faltou só dinheiro pra compra uma
Or just buy a baikal, needs no tlc ! Only joking, I look after my baikal model 27 just as well as my beretta 682 , love your channel
Thank you sir 😁
I’m constantly pulling my guns out to admire them practice mounting and what not and make sure there looking good and well oiled if I had the guns you have I might sleep with them lol
Ummmmkaaaay…😂
A good phrase I heard, mainly for machinery is : grease is cheaper than metal. Tbh, I clean my gun every time I use it, whether one shot or a hundred shots, I renew the grease every time, it's a tiny bit of extra work for a bit of fresh grease. I f it looks dirty, then there's already crud in there working away like a bit of valve lapping paste....
I never understand the belief that cleaning your gun is “soft”. Even if you treat it as a tool, it’s minimal effort to maintain it.
@@lloydyp I've put so far off buying some second hand guns, even expensive ones, that when you look down the bores there's all those black streaks of powder residue that's clearly not from one use😅
Can you do the beretta ?
Specifically how to lube one?
Lloyd, what about multi choke threads - grease or a spot of light oil after removal and cleaning?
I use a dab of grease. Oil burns off.
I use parker super lube synthetic grease, and spread it in a thin layer with a paint brush. Change it out every other shooting session.
Good man.
Thank you very interesting 🤓
Thank you for the info, my two year old B525 is opening easier now (stoned the fore end lug too)
Glad it helped, surprising how many people put up with stiff guns thinking it's normal.
Good stuff mate,I enjoy giving mine a good clean after use,got my daughter a little 410 so I end up doing both
It's quite therapeutic.
Hi,
I use a grease product branded as Inox PTFE on all the bearing surfaces where as with sliding parts such as ejectors, choke threads and cocking slides in the receiver, I use an aerosol lithium grease from CRC as it’s the only one in Aus that I can find with a application straw. Without a straw it makes too big a mess. I use lithium grease as it’s rated for high temp and extreme pressure. The Inox MX6 grease is a”clear” food grade product and comes in a small tube.
Thanks Mark I am recommending this grease in the UK, not sure if aailable in OZ www.amazon.co.uk/Comma-GR2500G-Multi-Purpose-Lithium-Grease/dp/B002E2QM6S/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=comma+lithium+grease&link_code=qs&qid=1604911411&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-5&tag=firefox-uk-21
@@lloydyp Thanks Lloyd, its not a product readily available here and the reason I use an aerosol is unlike the solid form, the aerosol is expelled in a solution which rapidly evaporates but gets it into tight places that the solid type cant. The tube "solid" product is good for all the exposed surfaces
Great video! I am newb when it comes to the maintenance of o/u; however, your description of of “friction” helped a lot in understanding the points of concern! Even your comments on fore arms was excellent! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Thank you, glad you found it helpful.
Hi Lloyd really enjoy your channel thought about doing it myself, but after watching your lockdown chat with Johnny from TGS our shooting background sound very familiar especially when you spoke about handguns as that was my main passion to handed in 14 pistol/ revolvers as I shot police pistol 1500 service A & B etc..
Still do firearms but claying is what I’m competitive at theses days
I would be interested if you ever get a chance to review a Rizzini BR440 or 460 as I’ve just picked up a 440 32 inch adjustable sporter ,Rizzini not so big for comp guns in the uk. Im interested on your thoughts and also the TGS yildz pro black looks fantastic for the money although not seen one to handle yet but seems a lot of gun for the cash, would love to come up to Bywell sometime for a shoot & a chat.
All the Best Greg
I've actually toured the Rizzini factory and handled the BR while I was there. Unfortunately I've had zero engagement from the UK distributor with regard to sending me a press gun. 🤷♂️
On the plus side yildiz have been in touch so Im hopeful I'll have one of those to test soon.
Very much enjoyed the new video Lloyd !
Like the new intro to your fantastic channel
I was very lucky to get a trip at Purdey 4 years ago, there I was told vaseline was the best thin to us.
So I’ve been us it & it works well sir.
My 725 pro sport is deep cleaned every weekend 👍
Cheers Graham.
Hello Lloyd, I am new to shooting so I am probably going to ask a question you have answer 100 times already. What is the name of the grease you use in this video. I found gun grease but it is black and I think clear is a good idea. 👍
Link in the description.
@@lloydyp see told you, 101 times now 😂sorry
Just a thought do you use an oily rag to wipe down the barrels before you put them to bed?
Every time. If I didn't do it in the vid I'll have done it after turning off the camera.
Hi Lloyd great channel and information being passed on thank you. Quick question where do you get your grease from please. Cheers Andy
Amazon. Search for comma high performance grease.
@@lloydyp thanks for this I totally agree gun cleaned after every use. Thank you
I recently got my License and I am watching all your video. Your content is great and I am so fortunate that i have opportunity to learn from your experience!! Thank you so much
And if you could advise I am in market for Shotgun and i have shortlisted DT11 & Perazzi.
What do you prefer?
And joined your patreon!! 100000 sooon!!
Thank you, my personal preference is perazzi but you should really spend some time shooting as many different guns as you can before committing.
DT11 or Perazzi as a first gun ? Truthfully I'm not convinced you will appreciate either of them if they're your first gun. You should spend some time shooting before going that deep in on expenditure of the those tier of guns. You don't know what you do or don't like to shoot..
Lloyd, good quick video. I started lubing, then moved to oil. Think I'd best go back to lube.
Question - can you do a video for storing a gun long term?? I've got my SxS that I want to hand down to my lad, but that won't be for poss 5 years.
You mean like this one: ruclips.net/video/WKspLh-tJH4/видео.html
@@lloydyp Aye, ta! Just subbed you today, and if TGS pushed this out, I missed it.
They didn't, it's on my channel.
Hi. Is lithium EP2 grease ok to use on a shotgun?
I have linked to a suitable grease in the description.
Am I right to assume you use a little oil for your chokes?
Nope, same grease as I use on the action. Oil gets too hot and burns off at the muzzle.
