Never knew!

Gets confusing others recommend grease and no oil Great video

Most practical, but we don't watch TGS for practical. 😂

And most people don't operate their shotguns at nearly the speed that pistons in an engine move.

And it doesn’t have to be just engine oil. ATF makes for a good gun oil as well as it has more detergents and is also engineered to hold particulates. One just needs to decide if a lighter or heavier oil is warranted. What he didn’t consider is that grease comes in different weights and a 0 weight grease (axle grease is a 3 or 4) makes for an excellent firearm protectant and lubricant when you don’t want it to flow like an oil will and need it to stay where it is applied. 0 weight grease is very thin and generally won’t hold particulates like a thick heavy grease will. It’s perfect for guns that are stored more than used and is much better at rust prevention. You just need to give a little thought to what each type will be asked to do and pick something appropriate 👍🏼

😂😂

A LOT more to it that I thought that’s for sure.

If my stock lasts 200 years I'll never know. 😂

@@John-uo1qf most people get a new gun every 3 years that’s 20 guns in a lifetime not worth worrying if a gun lasts any more once the warranty runs out on mine it’ll of shot 70’000 cartridges more then likely 😂

I used to be this way. Ive never worried about it after seeing a collection of MATCH guns from the US Marine, some 80 years old. They way you watch the gunnies clean them you would never know they are close to their age.

He did make the distinction of modern guns when he made the comment.

That would be old mineral or animal oils.. (they used to use blubber from whales a lot back then) Also old miltary rifle stocks were oiled and waxes constantly by the soldiers to protect them from weather.. They would be made to use hardening oils and beeswax constantly to build up a layer or protection.. (different oils based on country, the Japanese used Tung Oil while others didn't) And then when stored after a war they were covered in a super thick product like Cosmolyn??(from memory) that kept them rust safe for decades until needed again but that stuff is very hard to remove when they are needed.. Many miltary gun would be sold straight from storage without doing much about the anti rust storage coatings..

Good idea

Search Tim Greenwood. He has a great interview on Beretta 600 series. Complete teardown and re-assembly.

Barrels down

You should know by now, I have every excuse in the world close to hand

@@tgsoutdoors 😂 fair point

Canned air sucks. I bought a nice little compressor on Amazon that is quiet and works great for car tires, bike tires and cleaning guns. California Air Tools CAT-1P1060S

If you're buying a gun like this the, what, £150 for a shitty pancake compressor and a blow gun is a no brainer. Very handy in the garage generally too.

Take the stock off first 💡

@@nickbea3443 yeh its a no brainer if you are going to spray several thousand litres of oil on action stock off

Exactly what the gun smith said. Grease turns it into a grounding paste.

Browning Legia

They have their place - but oil is oil!

Just that the majority of folk don’t have a compressor to hand

@@tgsoutdoors some people don’t get English humour Johnny. Very John Cleese. Great vid JC and the crew!

No problem if you use as much oil as this guy does

Bit weird that you want a video of that tbh

Bears 💩 in the woods

These are very simple mechanisms so even a products not designed for it won't mess to mix up.. Different with a semi auto etc.. I would guess.. I would not use engine oil as its designed to capture dirt etc.. And carry it for remove by a filter.. Compared to certain other oils designed to not collect dirt etc..

@@zakofrx You completely missed my point. I do not give a shit what oil the old fool puts on his expensive guns, I took exception to him pontificating "Oil is OIL" and any person that drives an automobile will know that. Therefore I gave two examples of common household items that if you put the recommended oil for each on the other you will eventually have a disaster and putting Automotive oil on either will come to the same end. SO I REPEAT"OIL IS NOT OIL" and that old fool does know better having an engineering background or he is a ring pull short of a can.

There's one in every crowd. 😂

Doesn’t show modification, so - finger’s crossed

Why stupid? The key is to go snug, not gorilla tight. The barrels are tempered. As long as you use soft jaws and just go snug enough to hold them securely they will not be harmed.

This fellow has shot and understands more about o/u's than you, me or anyone else thats out there. The whole process of building that gun has been eye opening. If you do a video about an expert totally breaking down and lubing a shotgun, it might as well be your shotgun.

@@JamesJones-cx5pk that’s not germane to my comment. I believe the viewers are better off with some variety. I bought a langthorne early on before the prices doubled. It’s a good gun but doesn’t do it any better than the other top guns. He promotes langthorne because they pay him to. But I’d like to other London guns, Blaser, K-gun, P-gun

@@ChristanHaller I understand. I still think the 1 year break down video was more to show how to clean and lube rather than to show exactly how a certain gun comes apart. Cheers👍

I second that.
