I know I may be kicking a dead horse but here goes.
While an appreciative guest at Nationals I wondered over and burned a
little powder with Scott Hall and some friends from Nevada. I decided
to put my new found knowledge from the list to the test, so when I
returned to camp I barrowed a bucket of cold water from Teton Todd
moistened some patches and cleaned my rifle. Followed with a couple dry
patches then pointed it down fer a while called it good. That sounded
like what was suggested on-list a while back.
On returning to Cache Valley I decided to check it out; before putting
my rifle away
I ran a dry patch down the barrel. After one hell of a lot of trouble I
got the damn thing back out and she was covered with rust.
I can call rust patina on the outside but rust pits aint cool in the
business part of my rifle. If just plain water is all it takes what did
I do wrong. Maybe it was that Todd Water that I need to avoid in the
future but doubt it.
Lastly if a "Moose Milk" is needed to oil and finish a cleaning job how
do you carry it in the field. "Just do it when you get home" is
unacceptable for me.
