shotgun storage and care.

[shooter]

thanks imran,
yes it was helpful.
i have modified it to make it more suitable for a uk house.
(size of a shoebox.)
i keep a separate old bedsheet to protect the flooring/carpet, spread it out before i begin.

browning fouls more than some other makes (i read somewhere earlier and now experience it firsthand as i also own a classic doubles.)

this fouling is more just ahead of the chamber so i use only the last part of the rod (one of the three parts) as it gives me greater control and focusses on the first few inches of the barrell; i then assemble the full rod and give an overall sweep.

for the classic doubles, i use the standard technique.
another tip for the newbies, dont spend money on "special" cleaning cloth (1 patch £5) as if you shoot regularly, equates to a lot of patches and a lot of money. a rag/ old cloth works just as well
