Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What do you tape your barrels with on rainy days?

I assume this means that you probably did the "blow test" with a empty case in the chamber and saw that it did make things pretty much airtight.

If you go back and reread the posts, nobody ever said 100% waterproof the point was that as long as you aren't Scuba diving with your rifle the chamber is pretty well sealed from the back by the bolt and case - my point all along. And btw I used a fl sized, primed, ready to load powder and bullet case when I did my test, NOT a larger unsized round.

Sealing the muzzle with tape can make a difference, there are almost no negatives to doing so, the advantages far outweigh any disadvantages............................dj

You didn't disprove anything, other than you have [bleep] rifles.. Keep trying Jeff.

What's your annual rainfall Jeff? Come on now.. Don't be shy. Afraid you can't hang with the boys when it comes to rain?

The only thing JO has disproved is that even retards can type.

Calvin you are cracking me up. You managed to get Jeff doing blow jobs on his rifles. I'm crying.....

Still wish it were with a hot load.

I can see JO doing a blow job on his rifle all the time mumbling 'show me your load'

He needs to keep trying. He's not doing it right..(grin)

Bet he could deep throat a 'Long Tom'

I could just picture Jeff's wife walking in on him while he got a bbl in his mouth..

Baby pics? Nope.

But you were right the second time.

"I can see JO doing a blow job on his rifle all the time mumbling 'show me your load'"

some how them there chambers in them there remington 7400's rust real bad in the rain whilst them boys is a sittin there with a 30-06 shell clean up in the chamber.

Thinking 'Jesus please let him pull the trigger this time'

TFF.

TFF What a flashback.

Jeff,
It would help clear things up if you posted a pic of how you are blowing in the barrel.

I would do it, but my rifles are down in Tensas and Mississippi for the start of the season, so I can't.

I don't care who it is, no one needs to be blowing a rifle barrel...a mistake and it would be faster than AIDS.

Got another crisp $20 bill says the barrel is Jet black.

I agree, he needs to blow in it, not on it.

See, that could be part of the problem, hence pics.

This test is in the name of science, unless his head starts bobbing up and down....

You guys are killing me!

Ok, I've had my fun for the week. Back to hunting.

Serious question here.

I have seen well kept rifles that were in wet, cold conditions get brought into warm hunting camps and develop considerable surface rust in the bbl and chamber overnight.

Several were shot the next day and we had to hammer the bolt open, then beat the round out with a thin cleaning rod.

I think the quick formation of that much rust may have been aided by some solvents being left in the chamber after cleaning, as neither gent used a chamber mop after cleaning their bbl's.

This was the only common denominator we found between the two guns, neither used a chamber mop after cleaning.

Anybody else seen this?
