quantum Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hello, I want to clean my Nova trigger assembly. Benelli reccomends that only gunsmiths actually disassemble it, so I'm not going to do that. I'm thinking of giving it a good dousing with MPro7 to get out any grease and oil and clean down to the metal. My question is what parts do I need to lube after this? Should I spray the whole thing with some oil? Should I grease any rotating parts? I don't want to clean it if I'm going to damage it, and I don't want to have to take it to a gunsmith either if I don't have to. Anyone have any reccomendations? Thanks!

LuckyPierre Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 If you're going to douse, I would recommend CLP instead of M-Pro7. I use both regularly, and the M-Pro gets used on the really baked in fouling. The jazz in the trigger group just isn't that hard to remove. If you can get it, used "canned air" or a compressor to get as much CLP out of the housing as possible. What's left is no big deal, as it is a lubricant!

threeshot Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 quantum, On my SBEII, I remove the trigger assembly and use M-Pro7 on a cleaning patch. I clean all the parts I can see and access without disassembly of the trigger unit. Use a dry cleaning patch to wipe it dry. Then I put oil, FP-10, on a cleaning patch and give a layer of oil to all the parts I can see and access. Regards threeshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thanks for the tips! Another question: Does anyone actually use any grease on their shotguns? On the bolt slide rails perhaps? Or is oil all that's needed? I use Tetra oil right now but had been considering using grease inside the action on moving parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drundel Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 yep. i use eiter tetra grease or miltec-1 grease on the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeshot Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Drundel, Not sound negative or anything, I am curious why you prefer the grease versus a good gun oil on the slide rails? What advantage have you experienced with the grease over the gun oil? I am guessing from your posts that you hunt in the cold. Does the grease thicken-up less than FP-10 (I think you use FP-10, or maybe it's Miltec-1 oil) during your cold hunts?

Drundel Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 It don't get cold where I hunt (PLEASE send us some, i hate hunting in the 70's in November, its just not natural), maybe 40s, MAYBE. The rails are the main metal-to-metal contact on the Benelli design and I like a little extra lube there and find grease lasts longer. Again, no cold, and it really doesn't attract dirt like you think it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
