hello to you all,
Still waiting for my licence, but I purchased a CZ Shadow 2.
As a new shooter, I would like to hear from you guys what I need to keep this pistol spic and span. What lube, grease or other products? Boresnake or stick with patches?
Thans a lot !
-
I use weapon shield, boresnake it after range trip and or match. I break it down quarterly and give it a good cleaning and inspection.
The shadow 2 is here in the states yet but it's what I do with all my cz's
-
Hello dvrdwn72,
Thanks 4 your insights! I assume you put some Waeponshield on the boresnake? You don't use some led remover for the barrel?
-
Correct. Now if I get lazy and slack on cleaning I'll run some soaked patches through the bore and let it sois mostly soak the boresnake, run it through a few times when I'm done shooting.
-
Might have to get a snake for my Shadow 2 also. Got them for rifles, hadn't considered them for a pistol.
On the Hoppes packaging it shows the snake being used on the gun when it's whole, wouldn't it be easier to break out the barrel and just snake it?
-
I snake my barrel every time I clean....

I snake my barrel every time I clean....
Do you remove the barrel or leave it in the gun?
-
I remove it per my regular cleaning procedure

There is something about Hopppes #9 and patches that makes me happy. :)
-
I usually bore snake my 75 Shadow after every range session. I do a basic field strip and cleaning every 200-400 rounds and a deep clean every couple thousand. I use Slide Glide on the rails but I've tried various greases and oils and haven't seen much difference.
-
another vote for hoppes #9 and weapon shield. patches and a bore snake.
-
I've been very happy with Weapon Shield
