joe soapy Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Some guns are gifted to rusting, something to do with the spec of the steel. Had same trouble with a tikka rifle barrel, dare not put it away without a film of oil in barrel, the parker hale in the same cabinet hardly showed any signs of quick corrosion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningB525 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Interestingly, a friends B525 game gun is showing signs of rust on the rib. He only shoots clays with it and cleans it after use. My B525 sporter is used on all sorts, I put it on the floor once to pick up a duck and had dogs running over it. I just clean it and have had no problems. I do spray the barrels with napier gun cleaner and wipe them down after each use though. I personally don't like gun socks. I bought one, but now it's just screwed up in my cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Richo Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Apparantly they are made of a special material that absorbs any moisture! My friend has a 725 and was Using that when we have been out but he won't use it no more because scared of it rusting so he got a Hatsan he used it For the first time yesterday got a couple of jams that's why I want to Stick with the 525 for everything The other good think with the socks is that they stop any damage when putting them in cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footu Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'm a lazy sod, bought a cheap gun and just gonna let it rust. But when it gets really bad, what do you do with the gun, assuming it hasnt blown up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would rust and tarnish. The owner would card them or rub then with something to smoother the tarnishing. This tarnishing would then take a wax or fat readily.

Albert 888 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Right here is the solution! Firstly use Napier barrier spray on any exposed metal and lightly wipe off. It dries slightly tacky but leaves a film salt water and blood doesn't penetrate. It will not just 'wash' off. Have an old spare gun sleeve in car, and as soon as you can when finished on marsh, use Napier vp90 gun cleaner which will remove the barrier film. Wipe clean/oil and put into a dry slip. Been doing this for at least 3 seasons my B 425 waterfowl is mint condition no rust or marking at all. It works! Apply barrier spray night before or store coated in it.... Is your waterfowl not covered in duracoat. I was after one for the anti rusting properties of the gun,got an auto in the end,just use my normal 425 for clay and pheasant.

Sean Richo Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Probably like fishing tackle, catches more fisherman than fish! Like my friend who paid £50 for a pair of 100% waterproof gloves he put them on sat and within an hour his hands where wet a lot of stuff says it does job but it doesn't!

Junkyard Dog Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Vaseline lifts rust for fun, just rub it on and leave fora while, you will see it change colour as the rust absorbs into it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
