In this maintenance walkthrough, Otis Technology runs the TSP-12 through its standard 3-Step process using a Memory Flex cable to pull the bore and Shooter's Choice FP-10 to finish. The TSP-12 is a gas-operated, semi-automatic 12-gauge bullpup. That layout matters for cleaning. Gas guns run dirtier than pumps because combustion gas is intentionally routed back into the action to cycle the bolt, and a bullpup puts the action behind the trigger group where fouling is easy to ignore until it costs you a cycle. Otis Technology has built cleaning systems for military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters for decades, and the method shown in this video is the same one that works across most gas-driven platforms. The tools change; the sequence does not. Key Takeaways Otis teaches a 3-Step process for the TSP-12: solvent, clean, lubricate — in that order, every time. The Memory Flex cable pulls patches and brushes breech-to-muzzle, so you never push fouling back toward the chamber. Shooter's Choice FP-10 is the lubricant used in the walkthrough — a light film, not a flood. Gas-operated semi-auto shotguns like the TSP-12 collect more carbon in the action than pump guns do. Always confirm the gun is unloaded — chamber and magazine tube — before any disassembly. Follow the Tokarev own…
