Re: Bore snake for pistol’s match barrel?

Dear Red: Probably the best thing you can do to access the condition of your benelli pistol barrel is to angle a piece of white paper in the breach and put your good old mark 1 eyeball up to the muzzle. Make note of the rifling, any pitting, how shiny. take a picture if you want to when you first g...

Re: Bore snake for pistol’s match barrel?

The most important thing to keep clean on the MP90S is the chamber, which you should do with a .25 cal brush bent into an L. Personally, I only clean the barrel when shots start keyholing, which is caused by small lead deposits and typically thousands of shots. I suggest shooting it for a while and...

Re: Bore snake for pistol’s match barrel?

I'm still using the same procedure that's worked for me for 40 years. For routine cleaning the Bore Snake is fine for the chamber and the bore. However, the muzzle (you know, where the projectile leaves the bore) may need attention as a build-up of crud (burnt powder) needs to be removed to make th...

Re: Bore snake for pistol’s match barrel?

Hey John: Now I am not sure if a bore snake will damage your barrel with repeated use but I use a patch worm almost exclusively. While a patch worm is not much more then a simple cloth patch with a plastic pull but what I think really helps is that I use some of the "wonderstuff muricle" ...

Point taken. Thank you.

Bore snake for pistol’s match barrel?

Hi All I’m finally getting my new Benelli MP90S next week, after a wait of almost 18 months (various reasons for the extraordinary delay, including production delays due COVID-19 issues). My preferred sport is ISSF Standard Pistol, but I have very limited experience. I’ve been using a Browning Buck ...

Re: Grip sizes for new Benelli MP90S (.22LR)

Thank you again, TT and VonKasta. You have both been very helpful with the information you have generously provided me. The long wait is something I can live with. In the meantime, I will be practicing with my Browning Buck Mark. I realize that the 2 pistols are not in the same league, but I still e...

Re: Grip sizes for new Benelli MP90S (.22LR)

Thank you VonKasta. Your reply is also very helpful and reassuring. I have placed my order through my local agent and have chosen a standard grip. There seems to be a significant back-log on International orders and I have been advised that my pistol will unlikely to be available before May 2020. I ...

Re: Grip sizes for new Benelli MP90S (.22LR)

Thank you very much, TT. That is very helpful indeed.

I sort of suspected as much, but it’s great to read it being confirmed from someone who actually owns the same pistol.

I am in the process of ordering a Benelli MP90S World Cup Match Pistol in .22 Long Rifle through my local gun shop (Benelli agent). However, I cannot find any useful information about the best grip size for my hand. My gun shop informed me that Benelli offers 2 different grip sizes only for this pis...
