Today my M4S90 is clean:)

[jaegerbataillon511]

I went through two days of painfull hours to make a major cleaning this gun after 60 rounds and almost a year without cleaning it.

 

The first day I spent 4 hours and the next 5 hours. I do not clean it on regulary basis, otherwise I would go nuts.

I also want clean it outside in fresh air, and of course at warmer seasons.

 

Have you guys the same issue like me, or do you just clean only the barrel after shooting, and about how many hours would a major cleaning a Benelli M4 get?

[Amsdorf]

Nine hours????

 

Wow, what exactly did you do for nine hours?

[jaegerbataillon511]

Cleaning it...the barrel and ARGO system took the most hours.

[Jackalope]

Wow dude, thats pretty ridiculous. I've taken maybe 2 hours at the most. What'd you do? Strip and re-park the whole damn thing?

[jaegerbataillon511]

I clean it until the patches are white, and it takes really lot of time to get it there. Am I doing something wrong?

[Amsdorf]

Nothing "wrong" ... just not necessary, that's all.

 

But, hey, if you had fun and you wanted to do it, it's a free country.

 

You might want to consider not waiting a year between cleanings. And you only shot 60 rounds through it one year?

 

Now that's wrong.

Last year in september I shot 35 rounds and cleaned it after a couple of weeks outside, and then 60 rounds in november and left it without cleaning untill now. It was too cold in november for cleaning it outside, and I never do it at home.

Well, there you go, this is what is wrong: you are not using it enough!!!!

 

You can send it to me and I'll use it a lot more and I'll be careful cleaning it too.

 

 

But, seriously, dude ... nine hours cleaning a shotgun you've put less than 100 rounds through? You have to be pulling our legs.

[jaegerbataillon511]

I do not shoot much and I am mostly doing fishing when I go out. I believe US customs would go bananas if I sent you a factory M4S90 with a full length tube and telescopic stock. Here in europe 922r is not an issue.

[Amsdorf]

Oh, go ahead, give it a try...send it on over.

[Curious Monkey]

you could remove the barrel and soak it? plug one end and scrub.. that way you are not wasting patches?

 

maybe an ultra-sonic cleaner would help things? https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&sugexp=les%3B&gs_nf=1&tok=lvJDj_0iy-C_RIUAxUYM1A&cp=30&gs_id=2&xhr=t&q=ultrasonic+gun+cleaner+reviews

 

I am partial to steamers myself.. when it comes to grease and muck.. hot water is really good and steam is better! http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/186740/

 

I hope that helps.

I've been known to take an hour cleaning some of my gas operated shotguns, but then I was also watching a monster movie on TV at the same time.

[BilleeDee]

I sometimes clean and let critical parts stay wet over night and then clean again prior to reassembly to help break up gunk and reduce patch waste.

Oh, go ahead, give it a try...send it on over.
