    Thanks guys I went with some #3s for ducks and #4s for teal in Kents Fasteel, I had to order them, I am also going to try several other brands to see which pattern the best, thanks for all your info and helping out a newbie to the world of waterfowl :D

    I shot 4's almost exclusively last year and found them to be effective on mallards to 40 yards and great for teal.

    Even thumped a couple geese with them.

     

    Since you can't use black cloud, you may want to have a look at the new stuff from Remington.

    Hypersonic.

     

    I am thinking a case of #4s for Teal and a case of #3 for Ducks, looking at Kents Fasteel not sure what oz I shoud get?

    Need some advice I will be hunting teal and duck soon over decoys and in flight. I shoot a Cordoba so 3" is my limit, I am a bit confused with shot size ie BBB, BB vs 1,2,3,4, etc I am looking at the Kent's Fasteel, I was looking at Black Cloud but I have a ported barrel so that is a no-go)o; .... I am looking for a middle ground as I would like to purchase a case of 3" what shot oz. is recommended and what shot size should I use. Thanks for any advise.

    Extended Choke Applications (Newb)

    I need a little advise kinda new to Dove and Duck hunting, I purchased a Cordoba a few months ago and I have two chokes that are not the stock ones, one is a Pass Shooting Improved Modified Extended choke .700 (Benelli). the other is Decoy Shooting Extra Improved Cylinder Extended choke .710 (Benelli) what applications are these used for, can I use the pass for Dove and Duck hunting? Also can these chokes handle steel shot? I wasn't able to gather anything using the search function, thanks for any advise given.

    Deep Cleaning

    Maybe I should have worded my original question a bit better, lol.. I had already cleaned the shotgun minus the mag tube and inertia spring, I disassembled the shotgun per the manual and cleaned and oiled it with break-free CLP. I just wasn't sure if these benelli's had a mess of packing grease in them, is all, and if it needed to come out. I do plan on disassembling these items eventually when they get wet from use and what not, thanks.

    :D

    I'd be less concerned about the mag tube etc but if the manual describes how to get to them easily it wouldn't hurt.

     

    I rarely clean and lube a buffer spring on an AR and never have any problems. I'd just be sure your barrel is totally clean and the receiver/bolt area too. Then lube the heck out of it and fire a few boxes of shells through it to break it in a bit.

     

    Thanks :D

     

    The modern guns are no longer shipped with the heavy cosmoline packing grease of yesteryear.

     

    This negates the need for a heavy and thorough initial cleaning.

     

    I figured as much, just didn't want to needlessly tear it completely down till it's really needed, thanks

    Personally I would thoroughly clean it first. In addition to learning about it prior to shooting it you put the proper lube on the friction points, etc. Packing grease is anti-rust not weapons lube.

     

    Additionally, if you use something like SLIP 2000 or one of the other high-tech lubes it requires a clean surface to get down into the pores where it will then make the gun much easier to clean later on.

     

    Just my opinion, but have bought a number of rifles and pistols to include an M4 and Benelli said clean it first. My Dad always made me clean weapons after shooting, even when it was just a few rounds. The Marines made me obsessive about it. I now believe we cleaned weapons too much in the Corps, but I suggest you get off to a good start with this shotgun.

     

    I am the same with weapons, and the shotgun has been disassembled per manual and lubed with break-free CLP, just wasn't sure as to the magazine tube and inertia spring

    Thanks, I am retired military and I am so used to cleaning my guns until you can eat off of them, this is my first auto and Benelli just want to make sure it shoots without jams and what-not thanks for the quick reply.

    I just purchased a Cordoba a week ago and I am looking for a little advice. Do I need to deep clean the shotgun before taking it to the range for the first time? Does the magazine, and but-stock spring need to be disassembled and cleaned (packing grease) prior to shooting this shotgun? Any help would be appreciated, this is my first semi auto shotgun, thanks (o;

    Choke Tube Options

    in Benelli

    Posted

    Hello all I am new to the forum (and Upland Bird hunting)and just purchased a Cordoba Max 4 12G and would like a little info in regards to chokes. The gun will be mainly used for Doves, teal and duck (Texas) with a little turkey hunting. My question is where can I get the "© Special-Purpose Crio® Chokes Matte Black" choke for this model gun for turkeys? Is there another choke brand for turkeys out there that you guys are using in your Cordoba's?

     

    Thanks for any help or advise (o:
