And other ramblings: Remember its important to have your gun
serviced and cleaned at least once a year on a regular basis,the cost should be minimal.
Clean bores and chambers after every shooting session and wipe over action before putting guns back in the safe.
Snap caps can prevent broken springs if you dry fire,dry firing will not affect any other parts of the action.
Try to get schematics of your gun so that you are familiar with its components,some of the American websites above have free or low cost drawings for download/printing.Actions on o/unders are simple but need to be checked for wear. Semi autos such as the long recoil Browning A5, sadly no longer in production,and the later gas cycling semi autos need cleaning and checking on a regular basis as above. For reasons beyond me Semi autos are not as popular for clay target shooting in this country as o/u`s. Strange, as semi autos have won world and national titles and continue to take the money on the other side of the pond.Still each to his own.
Recoil springs,gas rings,hammer springs,trigger springs and friction rings need to be checked at the time of servicing.
Choke tubes need to be screwed in tight, but not overtightened.Threads kept clean and very lightly oiled,inspect before using for any damage.
Barrels need checking for defects inside and out
and cleaned after every session.
If any defect is found do not use the gun and either take it to the proof house www.gunproof.com or take it to your gunsmith.
