Q:

Well, she's officially done for the year and I gave my 11/87 SP the annual cleaning. Top gas piston was on upside down, probably causing the chip to break out the bottom ring but the O ring was still OK. In the receiver, there was the normal amount of crud, but interestingly enough, a fair amount of flora and fauna also inhabited the inside of the receiver (seeds, duck mite carcasses, etc) and except for a broken extractor (replaced in 5 minutes) this old shotgun performed without a single malfunction throughout the dove, teal and waterfowl season. There were accuracy issues on a couple of occassions, but I think that was due to a loose nut behind the stock. It will be interesting to see if the Browning Maxus can follow suit given this kind of neglect. Don't forget to take your choke tubes out and clean them so we don't have to address any questions about how to get a seized choke tube out come September. Getting ready for spring turkeys, let 'er come!!
