I found a Video with step by step instructions of how to dissassemble and clean them. Would nayone attempt this or would you just pay the gunsmith $45 to clean it every couple of months?

I've had several people tell me it's quite a job. Have any of you every really tried to do it?

I've been shooting A-5's and remington 11's (same gun operationally) for 30+ years. They rarely need this level of detailed disassembly unless something breaks, which is rare also. All I do with mine is lightly lube the mag. tube and scrub the chamber well with a drill, cleaning rod, brush, and steel wool. I do this yearly and they just keep on shuckin' em out. If the inside of receiver gets gritty, just hose out with gunscrubber and relube. Stock removal and lubing of the action spring is needed if it gets dunked in the water.

I would not suggest taking a Browning all the way down unless you have a week or so to put it all back together. :shock:

Most brownings end at at the gun smith in a bag. Very complicated

what he said: I think I've taken mine all the way down once in ten years (after dunking).

The gun is clean as a pin now..I'll just try to keep it that way. I can't find that video link. I should have saved it

I think MSDuckmen posted it on the refuge years ago, maybe you could contact him if he's still around?
