Strip Down And Clean...

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

I don't shoot anything like a lot of the lads on this forum, I'm a lurcher man at heart. But I do enjoy shooting wood pigeons through the summer, my gun has kept my ferrets fed for many a year and given us plenty of pigeon pie.

 

Ive just given my Daystate X2 it's first strip down and clean since I got it new in 2007.

 

I've always given it a wipe over when I get back from shooting but it had just started to develop a few small rust spots on the outside of the barrel so I've stripped it down and cleaned it gently with WD40.

 

What do other people use?

 

It's come up like new...

Some smart guns you've got there fella.

 

I've never decoyed. Something to consider though. I always just go at last light and pop a few off before dark walking the woods etc.

 

I don't like shooting rabbits. I prefer to leave them until winter and get them with my lurchers but wouldn't have a problem taking a few if land owner asked.

That's a nice air rifle. Does your lurcher work with the air rifle and retrieve what you shoot?

 

I've been taking my bull cocker but she's too hard mouthed if you want to eat what you shoot. I think my brindle lurcher would do the job. She retrieves alive and is steady and happy to walk to heel as long as nothing jumps up.
