VINCIshooter Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 clp or solvent, a rag and elbow grease. whats clp solvent I'll probably think of it after I post this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 breakfree clp is a very common and well known multipurpose cleaner. A dedicated solvent would also strip the oil from your gun and remove fingerprints, assuming they havent been sitting on the gun for years, which in your case is obviously not an issue.

tucker301 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Cleaner Lubricant Protectant I've never tried Breakfree on my black SBEII, but Hoppes Elite Field Cleaner (also a CLP product) works great on the metals and it makes the synthetics look better than new.

My dad bought me some Gun scrubber from walmart but im worried to use it becouse it says may harm wood metal and paint. I have some hoppes stuff I use in my barrels would that work? And trust me these grease marks dont come off with oil or alchahol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Gun scrubber should be OK on the metals, but don't let it get on the synthetics. The Hoppes stuff you have is probably #9 bore cleaner? No, it will not be OK. Get some Breakfree or Hoppes Elite Field Cleaner. I know Wal-Mart has the Hoppes and I think they have Breakfree as well.

Yeah I have that #9 hoppes I'll try allitle bit of the gun scrubber were you cant see the metal and test it I'ts gotta be one of those insurance things they have to put on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wornsoles Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Yeah I have that #9 hoppes I'll try allitle bit of the gun scrubber were you cant see the metal and test it I'ts gotta be one of those insurance things they have to put on there It's not an "insurance thing." Since the original Gun Scrubber damaged synthetics, they now have produced an additional product which they claim is safe on synthetics: http://www.birchwoodcasey.com/sport/maintenance_index.asp?categoryID=2&subcat=3 Regardless, I believe Tucker's recommendation is the best choice. Gunscrubber was engineered to clean internal parts, not as a surface protectant. Edited June 5, 2009 by wornsoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hattles Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 CA--probably just confirms any guess anyone might make. I live in California but now buy my gun online out of state. Can get them cheaper and don't have to pay 9% sales tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgunNoob Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) does anyone know how to remove grease spots and fingerprints from black synthetic? its my first gun with that type metal barrel?Solvents should not be needed for this (I tend to think of ANY solvent as "for metals only"). If you do use a solvent, wipe it on lightly and remove it quickly...still, its not the best idea. I personally use Weapon Shield for anything outside of deep/difficult cleaning (metals or plastics). This stuff will certainly suffice when it comes to removing fingerprints and such. Just be sure to wipe off any excess.

drmike5000 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Since Benelli and Beretta are the same company, I'm wondering what's the difference between the Vinci and the Xtrema2, other than looks? Just wondering. I have a Benelli M4, and I have a Beretta Xtrema2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you may not be paying it, but it is not correct to say that you don't have to. You ARE supposed to, by law, voluntarily pay it. But there's currently no way of enforcing it.

drmike5000 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 It's a blow-back system? I wonder how they did that?! Interesting. Somehow, you have to allow exit of the gas of the heavier loads, trap it for the lighter loads. I guess with good engineering, anything is possible. Well, I like the Xtrema. I'm sure the Vinci is a fine gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorW Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I wonder what is new in Vinci? Especially, what is the new inovation implemented on Vinci other than in M2 or SBEII? Besides, why Vinci does not have a 3.5" version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Vinci is a fine gun. No, Inertia Driven (ID) is not a blow-back system. A blow-back system does not really lock the bolt solid, but ID does. About how ID works without gas system, you may go to BenelliUSA to find why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmike5000 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I looked at the schematic and the video. Looks like a blow back system to me with a rotating block. Doesn't matter, as long as it works. The recoil system is interesting, seems to rely on the absorption of the impact through the stock, which is designed to flex with the energy. My Xtrema has a spring plunger in the butt stock that absorbs the recoil like a car's shock absorber. It works very well, but you can feel it spring back into place sometimes. Those that are sensitive and want everything perfect with their guns might not like it. Doesn't bother me any, I can go through 8, even 10 or 11 boxes of shells in an afternoon practicing sporting clays and my shoulder is fine. Anyway, Vinci looks like a fine gun. If I didn't already have the Xtrema, I would consider it. I'm looking for another O/U for my next purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going through a box of 2 1/4 oz. 3.5"s that will hurt more than 20 boxes of trap loads. Most of the O/U trap guns are citoris around here you should look into one of those.

drmike5000 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well, We're a Beretta family, so if I get another O/U, I'm sort of obligated. My brother-in-law was a rep. I do have a Rizzini O/U skeet, it's an older one from the 80's. Actually, my first shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
