Cleric Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I got my Nova at the very beginning of this waterfowl season and have been truly enjoying the gun. Having a firearm that is this worry-free has been a true joy. I have been cleaning and lubing it with BreakFree CLP. I use the product on all my firearms. However, when I clean the exterior of the Nova barrel, my cleaning cloth comes away with a slight brown color. As far as I can tell, this isn't the color of the CLP and it doesn't occur on other firearms. Anybody have any similar experiences cleaning the Nova barrel? Thanks!

HerbG Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yes, I've noticed the same thing with my Nova. I suspect it has something to do with the bluing process Benelli uses on these barrels, but I'd be interested in hearing from somebody who really knows the answer.

Cleric Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Are you guys using CLP or some other solvent/cleaner? I might put a call in to customer service soon with this issue. A lot of people seem to be having it and there doesn't seem to be a known answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 It is just the packaging greese and the weapon should be cleaned when you first get it. Its nothing to worry about I use clp also but u should try MPRO 7 its bio friendly and does not hurt the finish or your guns. Mpro 7 comes in many types, there is clp, a type of cleaner spray that wont hurt ur finish and the gel cleaner for copper in barrels but this can hurt ur finish.
