Werll now..he did say rust in the bbl. and that does happen quite frequently with bbls that are not chrome lined. Didn't use to happen with paper shells. They left a coating of wax in the chamber and down the bore just a little way. The plastic shells leave a little bit of moisture in the bbl from sweating. rusts my Remingtons and others...pretty quickly too. Not so bad out here in Wyoming. Sorry Ed but I don't clean my guns every time I use 'em either. Sometimes I would be cleaning every day. twice a day. Some of the most detail oriented people I know don't polish their shoes every day either. One of the best gunsmiths I know has a really messy bench that contains all kinds of stuff. A real mess...and he knows where every thing is too. Amazing. Surprisingly ours is not the only way. My reloading bench(well one anyway) is messy...but I turn out very good ammunition. I also have very little use for Brownings. As Fabs said. Not their fault as they told me that a gun with an egg shaped chamber that had shot only factory was caused by an over pressure reload..wouldn't fix it either. They have never been consumer friendly..but then again...at one time no gun company was consumer friendly. But I was a LOT younger then. LOL!!

I just got a gun from a fellow who had let it rust badly. It was an old Standard weight 1100 20 ga. He is the type of guy I wouldn't trust enough to shoot his reloads. Actually an accident waiting to happen. Don't know how he ever made it to his teens on a farm. But if I want to know about investments or loans or buying farms etc..he'd be the guy I'd go to...and have. Now I have to rescue the ol lemon hunnert..Pitted a little bit I think...but it'll still shoot just fine when I get it done.
