Home Forums Birds & Dogs Waterfowl If You Hunt In The Cold With An Inertia Shotgun

My shotguns tend to have 2 barrels, either horizontally or vertically arranged. They don’t give me trouble. The only repeater I have is a 3 1/2” Beretta automatic. I can shoot a round of sporting clays with it, 1 ounce loads, no problem. I only use it for waterfowl on big water, usually late season, cold weather. I keep it clean, no oil, just wipe down all the moving parts with Eezox, which leaves a slick, dry, almost waxy residue. Seems to work.

Run em dry. At the very least wipe on lube, then wipe it off with a dry cloth. Springs aren’t the problem. Ran factory springs for ten years in single digit weather shooting everything from skeet to goose loads. Never missed a beat

Breakfree was what I was told to use back in the mid '90s. Always worked great for me in salt marsh/dove fields. I would always spray, and then wipe down. I never left it wet.
