I wonder how folks chambers rust up after several days in the rain without being properly cleaned? I've seen it on taped and untaped muzzles.

Plus, I made a long standing promise to myself that if another bee ever flew up my barrel, he was going for a ride.
It's been 40 years this November since it last happened and my father refused to let me shoot him out. I don't want to miss the next opportunity. You too, eh? I had a carpenter ant crawl into my muzzle one time--of course dad wouldn't let me shoot the sucker out. It bothered me the rest of the day that the damn ant was in MY gun........ Casey

This is easy to test. Maybe tomorrow I'll test it. Or tonight even.
Yeah, go ahead and test it. Blow down the barrel with the bolt closed and see how much air can escape when you put your finger over the back of the shroud to prevent air from passing through the bolt.. (assuming a 700)

You should have seen what I had typed up, but I decided he might actually try it with a round in the chamber..(grin)

Lol.
Be that at is may, it doesn't change the fact that I've pulled many a WET cartridge from rifle chambers... and the water didn't come in the muzzle end...
Maybe it's a non-issue, [bleep], I don't know. I was just asking if you muzzle-tapers had seen it happen, since I've seen water get at least far enough to wet the cartridge from base to tip...

Prove it Jeff. Prove water can get into a taped barrel with a closed, uncocked bolt.

Due to the climate here, I've always just bought stainless rifles with some sort of synthetic stock. Haven't had any real functional rust issues, though my Kimber does like to splotch up some. My rifle just goes over by the woodstove when I come home wet. I cannot imagine trying to keep a blued/walnut rifle in good trim in these conditions. I am certain guys do it, but life is too damn short...

It doesn't matter. Hot or cold.
BTW, what's your annual average rainfall in your area?

Just did your silly little air test. There was air blowing like CRAZY out of the bolt lug area. Could feel it on my hand. As well as the gas safety vent hole (or whatever that's called). This is stupid, your test is stupid. That is so far from being any kind of tight seal it's ridiculous. I'll "prove" it if you insist. Tissue in the barrel or something like that. But then what? Not like you'll concede the point, and then I have to patch tissue out of my barrel.

I did it with both, and the cocked/uncocked thing is stupid, too. I hunt with a cocked rifle, so do most people.

Dude... did you even try this little test of yours?
Just did it on another rifle. Rem700, stock. Air POURS out from around the lug area. Not to mention the gas vent hole, if you don't plug it (hint)...
That is, categorically, not a tight seal whatsoever.
