Stoeger Condor Supreme

[ahuerta]

I purchased my Stoeger Condor Supreme 12 ga.  o/u about 8 months ago and have not gotten to use it at all, only fired about 3 boxes of shells through it.  The break is real tight, Does anybody know if the gun will loosen up. Has anybody had any experiences with this brand and model.

Have no experience with that particular gun but experienced the same thing with my SXS. I think you'll find it is only going to get worse not better with time.

The problem is likely same as with my SXS. Pull the forearm off and check to see if you aren't getting metal to metal roughness between the forearm metal and frame. Also you may find roughness in the trunnion area where barrel contacts frame. I had both on my SXS.

What I did was to use crocus cloth where I could reach and where I couldn't I coated the parts with JB Bore Paste (a very mild abrasive) and then opened and closed the action a hundred or more times to let the parts work in together well. This smoothed up mine tremendously. Then I cleaned it all over really well using a spray cleaner like BC Bore Scrubber or even carb cleaner will do.

Follow that up with a good coating of grease in those contact areas and you'll be amazed at the difference. Left alone tho time will only make it worse.
