Hey guys. This is my first post. For Christmas, I got a new 12 gauge Montefeltro. Galyans had them on clearance for what I thought was an excellent price. I originally planned on reselling it but thought I'd probably never buy myself a shotgun this nice in the future, so I've decided to keep it. I think it is a beatiful weapon and am really looking forward to shooting it.
I'm thinking about taking up skeet shooting as my new hobby for 2005. It seems like it would be a fairly inexpensive hobby as compared to the existing IDPA, IPSC 3-gun, steel challenge, and GSSF matches I shoot regularly.
My question is as follows. Where are the proper lube points on this gun? My AR15 needs to be sloppy wet with lube whereas my Glocks need only 6 drops of lube in specific places. I don't want to shoot this gun wet if it doesn't like or need it. I also don't want to shoot it dry and hurt something on it. The owner's manual was pretty poor in my opinion and had no diagram for a "newbie" like me of where to specifically lube the gun. I did read in the owner's manual that it needs very little care and maintenance other than cleaning regularly. I plan on going to the skeet range later this afternoon, but the gun is completely the way that it came from the factory. I have run a bore snake down it a couple of times and ran a patch with some BreakFree CLP down the barrel. Is there anything else I need to do before shooting it?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
