zoopman Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Bought my first benelli--very excited to give it a try! Question: are there any solvents that could harm a chromium lined barrel when cleaning? I have been using hoppe's and shooters choice on my other guns so I thought I would use these solvents on my new benelli when needed.

wallhanger54 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I've not seen anything yet that would hurt the lining in any Benelli barrel as far as cleaning goes. Personally, I just use a Hoppes Tornado brush (dry) and just swab it out. It's a stainless steel spiral wound brush and it works the quickest and the best for removing plastic or lead fouling. You'll need it too if you shoot any lead slugs through it, Benelli bores lead up pretty quick on slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBE2 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What about a Bore Snake. Will that hurt the chromium bore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallhanger54 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Probably not. The only things I've found that would hurt a Benelli bore are bad steel shot reloads, some of the early Hevi shot and being submerged in salt water for more than a week or two. That chrome lining is pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookester Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The Pad on the ComforTech SuperNova looks like the one on the non-comfortech SBE II, not the comfortech pad. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
