ground Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Bought the Legacy Sport 12g. Plan on using it mostly for clays.........no real large stuff until back gets better after surgery. Thus, looking for a recommendation on the 250 rounds needed to do the job without killing my back and wallet. Is it recommended to clean gun before first use in the event it shows up with factory thick oil for shipping....or does it come "field ready"? Thanks for your time!

Novaking Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It needs to be stripped and cleaned before use. Run about 3-4 boxes of heavy loads through it and clean again. Should be good to go after that. My buddy just got a M2 American and he found some 3 inch turkey loads on sale for like 5 bucks and box. He has been able to run 1oz loads since.

ground Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks! I'll be sure to do that! In fact, I'm sure I'll be able to find a buddy or two that will be happy to throw those heavy loads down-range for me! Have a Good Year...N-king!

Bello Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 all you really need to do is run about 100 or so high brass bird shot through that gun while shooting clays so it makes it fun then put your cheapy loads in there to finish your day off clean the **** out of it lube the rails she will shoot anything p.s. i have never ever cleaned a gun after i bought it before its first range trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 P.S. the manufacturer recommends the clean the gun before shooting. There is excessive oil to prevent rust that should come off before firing. It keeps dirt and debris out of the chamber. It's also good to clean to remove any possible obstructions in the chamber and barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ground Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks guys! All worked great! Got the extra oil off and.......... it was so smooooth, I didn't even know I was throwing heavy rounds down range!!! My gosh, I always thought folks were talking up the "soft" recoil. she fired like a dream.....I still had a hard time believing I was shooting a 12g! Awesome! now if I can only hit the clays ;-0 -G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
