Clean any packing grease off the internals and barrels. Use a good quality shotgun grease sparingly around mono block and hinge point etc and go have fun. Oh don't screw chokes in dry.
Just my $0.02.
I just did as above. Give the bores a good scrub/patch out with a solvent as well as any other moving parts to get teh shipping grease/oil off then lube up with a light grease - I use a tetra one, white stuff in a little squeezy tube. Wipe a bit of choke tube grease on the choke threads and screw them in and wipe off any excess.
Then go and 'smash some clays', but make sure you let a few go as 'breeders' (that is usually the excuse for missing a couple)
generally now after each shoot I give a squirt down the tubes with an aerosol cleaner then pull the boresnake through a few times. sometimes the chokes need a bit more of a scrub. action gets a squirt and wipe down. everything gets a wipe with a lightly oiled rag before going into the safe, after more than 10 years my miriko looks like new
I've found that G96 gun treatment is really good at getting the build up plastic out of the barrels and chokes with the bore snake ( takes a big week end onthe clays to built up the plastic but it can build up quick). A coupe of passes and its out.
Just a bit of advice I would be carefull using solvent if your barrels are soft soldered together as the solvent eats the lead out of the solder.
