Rem 11-87 20g Loud safety
My wifes uncle purchased a 20 gauge Rem 11-87 for deer hunting this season and is getting ready to break in the barrel and sight itin as well.I spoke with him on the phone tonight and he said the safety seems pretty loud when switching to fire. For those that have the 11-87, is thereanything he can do to reduce the noise the safety makes (such as workingthe safety on and off to smooth it or can he usesomekind of lube to quiet it down?(Hesaid it is more quiet to place a finger on one side and thumb on the other to move it slowly, but that may not always be an option while hunting.)
Also, when breaking inthe rifled barrel, is itworth the time to take off the barreltostart the rod from the breech endaftereach shot or isitO.K. to just leave the gun together and run therod from the muzzle?
Thanks for your thoughts,
J
