Hi guys I am the owner of a new Mossberg 20 guage pursuader (or Special Purpose I think they call it due to the back scratcher on the end). With full stock and standoff breacher #50145. I have a few quick questions. First off, how often should the gun be totally broken down and cleaned? I swab out the barrel good and clean all the parts I can see with RemOil on a swab or cloth but I have seen the many YouTube videos of a total cleaning. Is that type of cleaning done on a regular basis and if so what determines when? So many rounds fired or time in between etc.
So far I have shot about 500 rounds. I am 54 never owned a gun or even shot one before so I am really enjoying this at the range and want to keep it in top condition. Also is there another oil/cleaner that you might suggest or is the RemOil fine?
Question 2 - the barrel is hard to get out and slide on. It most often is a matter of tinkering with it before it slips out. When it goes in it lines up nice but still catches when sliding in until it finally just slides in. Is this something I should check out? I want it to fire straight and true and not take any chances even though it looks right and screws down fine. Thanks and good to be aboard!
