DaMadman,
Today was rainy and very mild; the temperature at 0800 was 62 degrees! It was the PERFECT day to hunt with my $20 SPECIAL, Read that: Rainy Day Special, "ALPINA STALKING RIFLE CALIBER 6.5MM CARCANO. I stoked the sporterized M91 rifle made in 1943 with carefully made 140 grain spitzers.
I went afield, I got wet, but it was a very warm rain akin to May rather than December. At noon, I came home and detail stripped the M91. I dried and oiled the barrel and action. I them put a bit of walnut stain on the stock, reassembled the rifle and like it better than before.
I also have an Alpina Stalking Carbine 6.5mm that has a barrel I can unscrew, by hand, and then rescrew as the situation demands. Ya gotta love them 6.5mm Carcano arms.
Be well.
Adam
