Stay safe!

[Britsmoothy]

I was pheasant hunting today again.
Same gun as before, unwashed.
Any way retrieving my last bird and with a now empty gun I stabbed the barrels into soft earth!
Check out the muzzles!

The gun is now flushed clean with hot and boiling water, dried and greased.

Stay safe folks.

Yup, had a partner stumble in our recent elk camp and stuffed his muzzle into wet sand while hunting down near the river. Said he cleaned it as best he could with thin alder shoots and then washed it in the river, flushing water through. Wiped things dry, loaded and test fired into the bank. Was nervous but afterward had his piece of mind restored.

Brits', looks like your muzzle is growing something. Excellent advise.

Damn it Brit, you know it's not legal to fabricate explosive devices in Mother England! Besides, what would we, your distant but sincere friends here in the colonies think if you blew yourself up in the Motherland? God save the Queen!

In Army basic in 1966, a guy in my squad got sand in the flash-hider of his M-14; upon firing, the flash hider peeled back just like a cartoon gun or banana peel. No other damage or injury, but it was kind of funny; guess the armory would have to determine if any barrel damage.
