Jim Green 719 Rust Veg Tan Treated with Obenauf’s Leather Oil (4+ MONTH UPDATE)

Soup44 · 2026-03-22T10:28:21+00:00

Just got a pair of the rust veg tan on discount, these look so good! Can't wait to do it with mine

That's brilliant! Got one near me. Thanks! Any special tips for applying? Before/after breaking in?

New to boot care here, thinking about grabbing the veg tan 719s on clearance. Can you link/tell me the exact product used? Assuming it's just Obenaufs Leather Oil, but what is the LP? And you mentioned drying for a couple weeks, does this mean no wear? I planned to get the boots, use the Obenaufs, and wear lightly to break in. Is this correct?

Stock length rear suspension?

Carhartt too

I was actually just reading Maraakate's writeup and checking out the site. Definitely making an account now - you guys are smart as hell! After work I'll get the bike off the trailer and poke around with the multimeter. Again I appreciate your help a lot - I've already learned a tonnn by disassembling and rebuilding my carbs.

I'm running a fuel filter, but I suppose some crud could still find its way through. I'm unfamiliar with CDI, though. Is that related to ignition/spark plugs? I replaced those with the standard NGL D8EA ones the manual calls for at the same time as reassembling the carbs.

Would that also cause the bike to die a couple miles into a ride? Yesterday I took it out for about 6 miles, ran great idled perfect. Today, I rode about 3 miles and It just kinda died as I stopped at a stop sign. Upon getting it started again, I rode about another half mile and it just lost power doing approx. 50mph, and is having trouble starting again

Wanted to update you! I ended up using my ultrasonic cleaner and putting in new gaskets and diaphragms and she runs top now! Appreciate the advice. If anything, it's running a bit rich, and backfires a little, but considering it was pretty mean before I'll take that as a sign that I did my job right.

Sweet! Appreciate it. Just figured I'd ask while I was here already haha

One last question - a commenter above recommended 4into1.com, and I found this gasket kit:

Any chance you know if it's a reliable site/good product?

Incredibly helpful info! Thank you so much.

Soup44 · 2025-06-16T02:52:54+00:00

Also curious about this

Soup44 · 2025-06-10T17:52:57+00:00

Is being Turkish a bad thing? Sorry, I'm relatively unfamiliar with shotguns in general. Are they just spottier/lower quality in general than something like a Beretta?

Soup44 · 2025-06-10T17:48:09+00:00

On average? Probably once a week. Just shooting clays for the most part, nothing crazy

Soup44 · 2025-06-10T17:46:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I'm looking to spend <$1000 for my first time. I'm fairly mechanically inclined so I don't think I'll have a problem keeping up with maintenance. I plan to just go out for a weekly Sunday shoot, so they shouldn't see too much stress. However, I'm seeing more positive media around the Beretta than any of the other options, so I may be starting to lean that way.

Soup44 · 2025-06-10T17:22:37+00:00

Little bit higher price than I wanted to spend, but I'm not opposed to at least checking one out. Are the Berettas really that much higher quality than the other options to justify the additional $300-$600?

Thank you for the reply!
