Help me decide on a shotgun

I will definitely do some good cleaning. Btw do you use choke lube? Is that something I should snag and use?Another tip with those to keep rust off the barrels is:
1) Always wipe it off with a clean rag/towel when done shooting.
2) Swab or run a bore snake down the barrel with CLP on it when you are done shooting.
3) Oil the outside of the barrels, safety, and trigger guard when you get back from shooting. I have found the cheap $5 retractable blush brushes you can find at Wally World do wonders for this. I spray it with CLP, then brush all the metal surfaces with it before I put it up. The retractable brushes are nice since you can put the cap back on them and they stay clean for a long long time.
No, but I have also not had one get stuck either. Not saying leaving it off is the right thing to do, but I personally don't use it. The CLP I have works well enough for this. If I ever feel like they are installing with a gritty feel, I just cleaned the threads and CLP them.
Again, what I do may not be the right way, but it works for me. If that grease is cheap, just try it. Worst thing that happens is you have chokes that remove and install easier.
LOL, I brushed the threads real good the other night before I shot it. I wiped them down but not with clp. Didnt want them to rattle loose while shooting. I will make sure to either clean them every time, or clp them a little.
Yeah man. About 45 minutes from your house. We'll get together and shoot soon. We've got a nicer spring loaded thrower that had the seat and everything. And as far as the lube goes, I don't use it either, but I have had one that needed a little coaxing to get it out. I definitely think if you have it, by all means use it. But like @Wallace said, keep the threads clean and you should be fine.
Dude Im more in than you could possibly know. Ill bring the clays. Hell I have a box or two at the house already.
Haha. Alright man. It might be a month or so before I get another free weekend, but we'll plan it out for sure.
Thats perfect considering I am pretty booked up until after april anyways.
@Leshaire the top one is my Yildiz, the bottom my Stoeger. Both good looking shotguns for the money I feel. The Stoeger is pretty beat up from rabbit hunting though. That Yildiz is a lot of fun though. Super lightweight, relatively low recoil, single trigger, auto ejectors, barrel select switch, screw in chokes. It really is a lot of bang for the buck. I think it was around $470 new.
Those are pretty nice looking. I love wood furniture guns. I'm down to give it a try when we go!

Like I said, it takes a little while to get used to looking down two barrels, but I like the traditional feel.
