Ok. After reading tonight about a poor soul who BAUGHT a 20 year safe queen gun and second cock it’s locked up.
It rings a bell of reinforcement on why using them at least once a month is not only rewarding and pleasing .. Its mandatory for proper lubrication dispersion.
Heat created softens the lubricants and Re releases them subjugate to sitting hardening.. light surface rusting can be smoothed off and new lubes applied.
Secondly , you could coat the outside of the gun with as much oils as you want… Rust will find a way. It’s like life.
internally it only takes a little to cause a hang up in a gun that’s been sitting in a safe. Only to be in the hands of the poor soul who knows nothing thinking he BAUGHT ” private Malone’s Corvette..”. Now that is a old one.
and has a paper weight on his hands.
Thirdly. Here is the one that will flame many safe sailors. THIS INDUSTRY IS A TINY SPECK … NOW ADD IN THE 1% w/o would want to collect for later return On your dollar. I’m going to let you in on a secret. IF YOUR LUCKY YOU DIE AND YOUR KIDS INHERIT AND ARE AIR GUNNERS TO.. IF NOT, YOUR BETTER HALF, LOVED YOUR PASION AND KNOWS ONE OF YOUR GOOD FRIENDS WHO MAY HELP. IF NOT ,,,…CHANCES OF YOUR PRIZED COLLECTION IS GONNA BE EITHER GIVEN TO NIECES AND NEPHEWS WHO WILL LET IT RUST IN A GARAGES AS THEY MAKE VIDEOS ON TOMORROWS SOCIAL MEDIA.
I don’t condone collecting for desire to have a series of guns you love and will use, and shoot and enjoy.. That being said I know a few who buy them with hopes of keeping them as the day they were built … NEVER EVEN SHOOTING THEM.
DOING MUCH MORE FUTURE DAMAGE THAN GOOD.
I have several so called collectable guns that I use ,hunt and enjoy. Do I try to abuse them HELL no.., But I sure as hell appreciate their value and the workmanship the designers made them for when successful hunts happen or 10 rings are hit.
LIKE I SAID many times. You paid for it. You should maintain it properly and shooting them does not loose their value.
Even if you have #1 of 5 made.
suit on ……..
Not using and enjoying something you have paid for. Is like not getting busy with your girl ,saving her for the next guy. What good is a eagle who never gets to fly or a Ferrari that never gets to go fast.
Im sure I’ll get 20 reasons of dereliction of my view or opinion.
Remember , you can’t take it with you, and they sure are not hauling a safe in a hurst.
If your lucky your child can continue with proper maintenance ,continue to enjoy it’s fine craftsmanship. ….Or ."…..the garage sale gift that sits rusting
