| I agree with Hootch. I don't tape any off and it doesn't take that much oil but I love the finished product. I usually do it once a year or every other year if they have light use. |

| I bought one in January and used it for clays and released pheasants the same month. It is now my favorite over/under shotgun. The balance and fit was perfect. I hope you enjoy! |

I have been using Federal Premium #5 shot for the past couple of seasons. They've worked great except when I miss. Then they're terrible.  |
