Columbus Polumbus Posted November 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Well Sniper, as you have already mentioned, its not the size of the barrel but the charge behind it, an I got a big charge (as you know from mtg up at the Mid) but I am gentle :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimshot Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I use a Silica Gel Pack. It has a color indicator on it that lets me know when it needs to be refreshened. I also wipe my guns down with a Silica Cloth, and coat the bore very lightly with lubricant during storage. rimshot Blue Collar Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermin Dropper Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Hi Col Pol, Have you thought of using an "intercept protector"? It is gun bag lined with a material called "corosion intercept", it does not soak up moisture and it reacts with and neutralises the corrosive gasses which are desolved in the moisture, permanently neutralising them. They can be used for guns, rifles, sights, binoculars etc (anything metal) also when I get home from a shoot, I clean my gun n wipe it over with a very light oil, and use a muzzle protector in it while its in storage. If you mail me, I'll let you know where you can get them. :lol:They would save on the electricity bill of having a heater on too! V' Dropper.

Columbus Polumbus Posted November 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Thanks V' Dropper I have looked at those and their quite expensive at £20 each, I have six guns in that cabinet alone and a heater is only £12. But thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermin Dropper Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 No probs col pol if you change your mind I'll get them for you at £16.50 ea. all the best, Leigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Be carefull not to dry the woodwork out too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus Polumbus Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 You have a point Rjimmer, the heater element is rated at 60w and designed for G'house and conservatory frost protection, as I know nothing about electrics etc do you think it will generate too much heat, or should I hook it up to a timer?

squirrelhunter Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 REMOVING RUST? Just out of interest how do you remove rust once you have it, i have only one rust spot on my weirauch but id like to remove it if possible because the rest of the gun is perfect.

rjimmer Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 I would have thought that 15W would be ample, but you want some air circulation. Drill some holes top and bottom of the cabinet. If you can, insulate the OUTSIDE of the cabinet, especially between the wall and the cabinet. Putting insulation on the inside will not cut down condensation.

Vermin Dropper Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Rjimmer is right, you need to stop the air inside the cabinet from condensing on the steel wall of the cabinet. I would insulate between the cabinet and the outside wall. Also a cheep alternative to silica crystals is to use rice, on a small tray etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimshot Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 It's probably cause' I'm from California that I don't know this: What is a towel heater? rimshot Blue Collar Shooter Magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus Polumbus Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Its a rail system that is hooked up to the heating system of the house, fed by hot water. It is usually placed in a bathroom to hang your towels on to warm them up following your bath or shower rimshot. Usually reserved for the women, the posh or the pinko fluffy Woofta's of the world....... its not for us real tough dudes, the outdoor types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Removing Rust You need to get a very fine grade of emery cloth, typically 320 grit (no coarser). Scratch off the rust crust with a craft knife, then Tear a thin strip off the emery cloth and wrap it round a ballpoint pen. Use this to rub the rest of the rust off as far as you can go to get the bright metal underneath. Wipe the area with methylated spirits, then apply some touch-up blueing from your gunshop. When finished, wipe with a damp cloth and rub the barrel with Rangoon Oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
