Loading ...Wow that’s strange. What was wrong with the cartilage or was it a gun, did you find out? That’s something!
These look fine not corroded and over 10 yrs ago so powder likely dry if any water got in. High gain in copper. They banned lead years back in Calif.
I didn’t oil them after I dried them that’s stress on bolts slides and who knows and quite a bit to then the try to get the oil back off. Busy times then but look good but just wonder if it changes something what happens if it did take in any water then and over 10 yrs later.
They were in wet soil not under water and in a bag cuz I was going to take them back out and during drought Calif but didn’t expect that that to happen. I thought about trying them out but just haven’t got out for that and plan on giving it away since it’s a military gun kind that’s passed down but I passed on the bayonet one, should of took it the way things are going now, Just don’t want to hand down bad ammo.
You have to register older military or any kind of guns now in Calif so they can find every gun out there in martial law except the criminals and the ones who already had them so in that respect they’re more valuable than just big game for a back up if you know what I mean.
