Yesterday I hunted for an hour and half in pouring rain in bottomland timber looking for that big buck others have seen after modern gun season.
Anyway when I got home I discovered my SS/syn Encore had begun to rust in the non-SS places (screws for ram rod holder, block under barrel etc.) Well I got home and disassembed it good and oiled most things and cleaned the gun good to retire it for the year.
Anyway got me thinking about stainless replacement screws, sealing things, etc. Any one have some ideas that they have applied?
The gun fired after all of this (so I could unload it) so I was very impressed. Blackpowder in the pouring rain - usually not good.
