Hello everyone,
I just got a new Mossberg 590A1 and I have a question about lubrication. When I first took it out of the box, the action was a bit difficult to move, i.e. not "slick" like a broke-in gun. I attributed it to the thick lubrication. Assuming it was for storage/transport, I cleaned most of the gunk off and lubed the whole thing with snake oil, which is a standard handgun lubrication. However, it seemed a bit light for the Mossberg. Is this the right stuff to use? What do you all use to lube your shotguns? Additionally, do I have to clean the bore, and disassemble and clean the gun after every firing? I usually do with my handguns, but they are a lot easier to disassemble. I put about 50 rounds through the Mossberg the other day, it does not seem to be dirty at all...
Regards,
Max
