Feets / Collection / My build Gun Care Advice

Hey all,

I just got my PAL and snagged a gorgeous Benelli Nova 3 HD (used but basically new) for $500, and I have absolutely zero idea what products I need to clean/lubricate this thing.

I looked at some forums but they're all 20+ years old and recommend disconnected products, but I keep seeing "CLP" popping up. What are some good recommendations for cleaning/regular maintenance for this shotgun/in general?

I should mention that I have a Huntshield all-in-one cleaning kit, so bore brushes and mops aren't an issue at the moment, unless there's a specific material I should use/avoid that I need to be aware of?

Thanks!!

Any recommended brands for the CLP? My kit comes with a cleaning cable and cleaning rod.

Where are you buying Hoppes? I checked Amazon and Canadian Tire and both say they're discontinued. Is there a certain name I should be looking for from Hoppes?

Check your local firearms store.

Tenda, g4c, rdsc, csc, tesro and other stores (that also sell other items) is another good source.

Unfortunately Canadian tire is a shell of it's former self and Amazon is a bit of a wasteland when it comes to firearms.

Any clp would do. We stock a variety but hoppes is a winner.
