That is actually the only reason I'm interested in it. I just read your article about weatherproofing in SA and since my environment is often a lot like Phil Shoemaker's I thought it might be a good idea. On the other hand, it isn't often I don't have a cleaning kit close by, so it might be a moot point. Gun Shield, on the other hand, might be worth applying to the steel hidden in the stock.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
