Gun stock removal to clean the gun
I have few friends,and we always discuss,AND do-to a degree, the removal of the stock from he rest of the gun, in order to clean under the barrel /action.At the end of the season.
I do take the opportunity ,and wax and polish the stocks all around ,at the same time.
This practice comes from few concerns-rain/snow may get between the metal parts and the stock, and not having ways to escape(other then evaporation) lingers there-potentially causing rust.
Leaves and other organic debris gets between the stock and the metal parts, causing potential rust issue.
This practice did cause occasional problems(forgetting to assemble the gun properly, thus changing POI for instance).
At the other hand-gives a "feel good"feeling-job done right!
What is everyone else doing?
