This morning was cleaning time.


      Very easy to clean. I didn't do a full take-down because really the only dirty part was the barrel. It seems powder and residue aren't really sticking to the aluminum receiver and/or fall out through the slots in the loading port. I used Break-Free on the barrel followed by a wipe of all parts with Ballistol. I don't know in most shotguns if the bolt face usually gets crudded up but this one looked like new and only needed a wipe.

      Next 100 rounds I will take some pictures right after shooting before doing the cleaning.

   I learned something over this purchase. Don't talk shotguns to skeet/trap/clay guys or they will tell you it takes a $2000 plus shotgun to hunt Rabbits or any other huntable game.

No doubt!  I repair a lot of $2000 shotguns, and a few 5-digit comp shooters.  For the cost of some of the repairs, you can buy a nice shotgun that does just as well on the range, and spends less time in the shop.  Of course, I'm wrong.....just ask them.

Much obliged for the reports.  Sounds like this thing really needs a closer look.

Also, I shoot mostly low-base bird/trap shot in all my autos.  Never a problem (except for the occasional worn out piston O-ring).  If I had a semi that was worth anything, it probably wouldn't work with them, either.  If it works, and looks good doing it, it's a win-win, at any price.

 I guess I can understand buying a $5000 shotgun if you are winning money with it. About the only real sense in owning something that crazy.

Problem is, if they are winning money with them (successful), they don't pay for them.  They are sponsored, and also the reason they wear all that branded garb.  If you are good at it, you don't have to shoot a "cheap' gun for long.  Unsuccessful competitors use what the pro's use, and pay for it, because that's what "wins".  It isn't the tool, it's the craftsman, but they don't get it.  If they were winning, they couldn't tell you what their guns were worth.

Bill Dance never paid for a Ranger boat, or any of his gear.  Tiger doesn't pay for clubs, shoes or balls.

They sent me the 30 round belt and Linberta sent me an extra firing pin and spring.

It's on my list for 2013.

My Brother wants one and now people are asking me about my review. I can't complain other than it's not made here.

I have a few shotguns, mostly for Trap shooting.

One I bet few have seen or owned is this one.

It is a Greener Trap Gun. A martini action 12g.

I now own two of these.

Interesting piece.  I had definitely never seen one before.  Thanks for the pic.

That's a very interesting shotgun, Congrats!
But I will continue to patrol with my 870 Wingmaster stuffed with these...
