Take no notice of Pat as he has a very "strange" way with his guns.Originally posted by Pat...
The usual method is to keep the gun inside, don't get it near any dirty fields and refrain from using it for its intended purpose.
There a plenty of members on this board who can teastify to this excellent method of gun preservation.
The first thing he does on getting a new gun is to take it out of the packing (after he has jumped up and down on the unopened package a few times) , dent the woodwork with a pin hammer and then gives the metalwork a good rub down with a wire brush.
He then keeps the rifle in this condition by rubbing down after each use ith his great big sweaty (and i mean BIG) hands.
