Manish Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hello all, Those of you who dont use synthetic stocks and coated barrels how do you protect your guns whilst out on the foreshore?? I normally put a layer of renaissance wax on my stalking rifle it its going to be a bit wet. But a little rain is different to salt water exposure.

aberisle Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I use this on the barrels and just make sure the wood gets dried off after shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Make sure they are thoroughly dried and cleaned as soon as I get home. Frankly I don’t worry too much about finish on my wildfowling guns. They are tools and I accept as such. My 8 bore has no brown left on the barrels and no point redoing it as it will be off again in a couple of seasons. My AYA no 3 has patchy blue and my semi autos are standing up to it pretty well at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 The modern steels have much better durability to salt water. My old Beretta A300 just has to look at water to want to try and rust. The guns get taken apart and oiled after every use on the marsh.

nic Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) my 425 waterfowl has a vinyl wrap over the wood. even so, it gets left out to dry and oil the wiring parts before putting away..... even more important if you live in one of those new fangled houses with radiators and central heating (never catch on in my opinion, stick with woodburner, open doors and radiated heat) 😃 Edited November 23, 2020 by nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
