What advice would you give to us airgunners with regards to gun care before and after going out in the rain ? I dont mind getting wet, but I do worry about the gun afterwards in case I dont get it drired properly and starts to rust in places I dont see.. Quote Link to post

Guest hyperion Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 people seem to get scared of stripping their air guns and/or rezeroing them and ive no idea why! it can be a pain in the backside to do some times but i always feel better about using the gun once its cleaned and sorted so i find i shoot a bit better! lol! cheers hyperion Quote Link to post
