HE Fox 32" 3" mag unless it starts to pour, then I go to a Jap A-5 Browning auto 3" if I have to shoot steel shot, then to a standard 2 3/4' Browning A-5 for Bismuth or KTM.

My brother and I once turned over a rail skiff and immersed 2 (TWO!) Parker 28 gauges. When we got back to the truck I hosed both of them off with WD 40, let them drain then wiped off the excess and laid them on their cases in the back of the truck.

When I got home I pulled the stocks and forend irons off both of them and dunked both receivers and forend irons in a small bucket of denatured alcohol for about 20 mins. Pulled them out, blew them dry with compressed air, and misted the metal with a very light spritz of RemOil spray. Wiped them dry, worked all the mechanics, and put them back together.

The alcohol trick I learned over the years fooling with outboard motors - if one goes overboard, even if its running, provided there is just water and no sand or silt taken in, for a small enough motor (50HP or below), we would pull the power head and leave it in a bucket of denatured alcohol overnight, then pull, rinse, blow out with compressed air, and mist inside and out with 50:1 oil/gas mixture. If done correctly it works every time an you don't have to completely disassemble the power head.
