[QB] it was -5 ,the 2 benellis froze up ruining a day of hunting and 1 mile walk to hunt, me and the other guy had 1960's winchesters and had no problems.
yes the do keep their guns oiled
Two things tell the tale in this message:
#1 -5 degrees + Oil = gummy actions and possibly slowed firing pins if there is oil that far into the bolt.
#2 The old 1960s guns are loose and well broken in where the new shotguns are still tight (then add in the gummy, cold oil as noted above!)
Run the new guns a little dryer or use some much lighter weight oil like Kroil, etc...
