What? Even if they don't get wet?

Congratulations on getting your cert! This is where your problems start........which gun, which cartridges, which clothing, which specs, which bag, which ground, how many days a month can I get out, which newer gun etc etc etc

Could it be a Perruque in its first regrowth? I've only ever seen one where the antlet's were growing over the eyes.

Very good.?

Barrels up. Never had a problem in over 40 years. Although I never have excess oil in the barrels.

I had exactly the same experience some years back when I was looking for my wifes first shotgun. I stood in the background and just listened to the 'help' and 'advice' that my wife was being given. Strange how the very first gun that she was given (Browning 325) was perfect for her, and she...
