Brushing the Cap of a Benelli 12g 28" Shotgun

Video Transcript

"Ok I have my cap right here and what my cap does is it help retain the barrel and the forearm to the receiver. That is an important part because you do not want your barrel coming apart or separating from you receiver when you are out in the field. So you want to make sure this is good an clean, so what I am going to do is I am going to actually use the small end of my brush here and I am going to get in here and I am just going to set inside these threads and I am just going to work it around. Now you maybe thinking it is screwed on there, how does anything get in there and you are mostly right. Not a lot of stuff gets inside here, but you do not want to risk having some thing in there that will possibly let this get loose or even freeze on there. A lot of shotguns sometimes the caps, people have not taken them off in so long they will even kind of freeze into place you know the metal and the threads may oxidize with the metal on the tube. We are going to help prevent that, we have had our break free sitting in here to get anything loose and we are just using this brush in here to help us get the rest of it."
