Armi Cleaning Set

[Crockett]

I just bought a new Benelli SBE II and on page 25 of the "Use-Maintenance manual" is a picture of what it calls a "Benelli Armi cleaning set".

 

The picture looks like a cased set with a cleaning rod, wire brushes, bore mop, oil etc. It looks like it would be a nice addition to my new shotgun -- but I can't find it anywhere on the Benelli website.

 

Is it available for sale from Benelli and how do I find it?

 

Thanks,

Crockett

When I bought mine Gander Mtn gave me a Benelli cleaning kit. The man said they wouldn't sell so they give them away. It's made by proshot w/ a Benelli case. Nice kit not so sure about the product. Another thing is the oil that comes w/ the benelli is a collectors item once it's gone it's gone no more coming into the states. That was straight from benelli CS. I inquired about purchase just in case I used mine up.I decided to leave it sealed as a momento.LOL

Here is the response from Benelli:

 

EPA has put a hold on the cleaning kit importation and the chemicals it comes with.

If EPA has put a hold on the cleaning kits what is the best thing to clean my Vinci with?

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

What a lame joke, then again Benelli/Beretta's oil is responsible for 75% of the pollution here in the states.

I have two unopened bottles of the factory Benelli oil, I would happily sell for 4999.98 each...

Hookie, Skeeter, m1014? any takers?

I have a SSII, and just bought a super Vinci yesterday. Haven't shot it yet. was looking at the same thing about the armi cleaning kit, and thought I might check it out. came across this thread, made me wonder if I should open my new bottle... Incidentally, I'm about 1/2 way (or more) through the bottle I got with my Super Sport 2. Anyway, I think it's probably just a really light oil, similar to sewing machine oil. So I agree with TMAC and will probably just use it up.

 

I'll probably refill the bottle (since it fits in the case so nicely) with type F power steering fluid. and then CPL (clean lubricate protect) for storage... but CPL might be a bit heavy for shooting these newer guns. I learned to love CPL in the army, especially for storage.

Another gravedigger.....Nice first post in a thread that has been dead for 18 months, thanks for telling us about your cleaning and storage routine. Anyway, welcome to the forum and enjoy your new SV.

Why do people get so uptight about diggin up old threads. I found it to be an interesting read.
