Trouble with SBE

[crowhunter]

I would advise to use synthetic gun oil, or oil with a weather guard. You should make sure that you clean the internal parts regualrly too. You have a semi-auto now and they require alot of attention in the action almost more than the bore. but if you already do clean the action than just pretend that that text isn't there.

 

and you should be aware of not over oiling and that you oil only the moving parts. and the total number of drops of oil should be about 5 in the whole action.

 

And for future reference, I find that Beretta gas operated autos are the best of the best.
