Wildfowler12 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Yes it will! My auto has gone rusty between packing up and getting back to the car! Yep, mine too. Had to have a set of barrels reblued after being in a damp slip from packing up to getting home, damage done in under 3hrs in that instance :( Edited October 24, 2013 by Wildfowler12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 2 minutes when you get back to the car give it a rub with wd40 rag.. Never had any troubles in 48 years.. and yes I was a right mucky pup, got stuck nearly every time out. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangford wildfowler Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Not worth the hastle mate. Your gun won't rust by the time it takes you to get to the car Why not? My auto got all rusty one morning cause the dog shook all the salt water off himself and most of it landed on the gun! My da near killed me I had to go home and clean her several times, if I had brought the oily rag I wouldn't have had to clean it several times, I now carry a rag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Boat Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 A proper wildfowling gun shouldn't corrode over a few hours, my SX3 with a rustproof coating under the cammo dip is no issue. That said the s/sides I have are a bit of a pain, the only way is lightly wipe them over the night before and dry and clean them as soon as the dog is sorted (few areas allow proper cleaning at the car) Think on about the type of bag its stored in though some hold moisture and salts which is bad. Does a 120 year old 42" damascus double barrelled 8 bore count as a "proper wildfowling gun" I use bees wax polish and have done all my shooting life. HB.

roughshooter Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I have just bought some lanolin waterproof barrel polish (redkite) which is supposed to do the job but have not tried it on the foreshore yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 You know the last thing you should do is put oil over salt, clean then oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Have a look at the Clenzoil blurb, especially the patches. I'll be writing a review when I get the time. The products will be going into stock at Norgas soon. webber http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fWaew81R7M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPwE4sWzd1s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j8KZvx-A7c Edited October 28, 2013 by webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiffy Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 after a bit of research it seems cerakote is the answer, in fact it looks the perfect answer but boy is it expensive.. i just got of the phone with rifle craft and its £155 + vat so £186 all in, and they will only send it to an rfd.. i dont know why as its just a steel tube and i didnt have any problems sending another gun barell to have it blacked.. i also emailed valkyrie rifles to get a quote from them i know its a specialist application but does anyone know anyone else who does cerakoting?
