BTW-

one trick - after a good drying, i take a hair dryer to the metal parts just to warm them up

that takes care of those spots, like the narrow channels along the ribs, where some moisture may hide. And then a light oiling flows better too.

Default CSMC 16 set

I bought it to hunt with! Its been iced over and rained on several times. I try to keep the water out of the action by keeping under my coat. This year I made a canvas bib to carry in my pack so during a down pore I can still hunt grouse....(-: 1st picture is last season in the U.P. steady rain. My 1st hunt with the new Fox 2016 the ice storm, 28 degree's and raining, barrels had 1/4" of ice on them! CSMC guns can go back and be disassembled and cleaned free each year....(-: Its been back 2 times. SXS Ohio

Since I can hunt most any day of the season, I seldom hunt rainy days. I did buy a gun or two thinking they would be for rainy days, though: a Parker VHE 16, VH 20, and an AyA 453 28 gauge.

Now, if you want to talk "spectacular weather" guns...
