joshua79109 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 New SLP owner here.... I'm about to clean off the factory gunk and take it out for a couple hundred shells and I'm looking for info on how to care for this shotgun. I've never owned an auto (been using the same old pump for the last 15 years). What places should be wet and what lube do you use? Anything else? I plan on using this shotgun for 3 gun so it will be run hard. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Josh, I treat mine like a 1911. The lube should spray off and hit your glasses for the first few rounds. I don't see anywhere on that platform that wouldn't like a nice lightweight oil. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 + 1 to Carl Also I found that the gas piston love a good spray of silicone. It tended to not catch as much carbon and gunk as oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAC Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 After cleaning, I give the gas piston a light coat of Slip 2000 EWL and a rather copious amount to the bolt and inside of the receiver that contacts the bolt. So far so good. This is the same oil lubricant that I use for all my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I run the Winchester SX3 which is basically the same. I run it real wet with SLiP 2000 EWL and I ultrasonic clean the piston every 300 rounds. I've found that this action likes plenty of lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bore Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I keep my sx2 wet with Mobil 1 10-30w and it runs fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
