Muntjac Man 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Talking to a shooting colleague yesterday, reminded me of me learning something the hard way!. If you have a rifle with a stainless barrel, and you put a mild steel moderator on it, and leave it on permanently, you will very likely find that the barrel threading begins to rust very rapidly due to the dissimilar metals in contact with each other. Best to remove the moderator after each use, before putting the gun back in the cabinet. Some people also recommend puting vaseline on the threads. Learned through experience - a couple of months after buying my beloved Tikka T3 Lite stainless, when taking the mod off to clean, noticed the start of corrosion in the threads! MM Quote Link to post
