Ahhhhhhhhhh...

Well... I've never seen a piece-of-metal between the barrel and where the ram-rod goes, so apparently, my older CVA Hawken doesn't have that feature.

But I still appreciate your concern for my welfare and I wanna "Thank You" for your thoughtfulness. smile

Thanks for the "head's-up", S.S., but I use VERY hot water and then BLOW out all the liquid using 100 lbs of air-pressure from my air-compressor. Even after I blow out all the liquid, the barrel's steel is still very warm.

And so, I doubt that there is any liquid (aka "water") left anywhere in the bore and flash-channel... but I appreciate your thoughtfulness in warning me about the problem you had. wink

Not meaning the flash channel or bore. My Hawkin has a piece of metal between the barrel and where the ram rod goes about 15" long. Moisture got under that


My Traditions has one also. It's there so the ramrod "thimbles" can be attached from behind it. Attaches to the bbl with maybe 3 small set screws?

I use a hair dryer on everything after the hot water method of cleaning. Seems to dry things fairly well for the $10 I spent on it at K Mart. Blows the moisture out from under that little bar of metal and keeps the bbl warm for drying too.
