Gun stock removal to clean the gun

[gbk]

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?

I just disassemble trigger barrel and forearm and clean accordingly with remington cleaner. Havent had to take apart my whole gun... yet. Lol

Shooting Black Powder makes things much dirtier, so yes I always break down the complete gun end season. Added that the ML season is in Dec, there's usually a lot of moisture (rain/snow) when I'm out hunting.

I use a product Called WD40 Long Term Corrosion Inhibitor. I spray/rub it on the underside of the barrel and inside the barrel for storage. Great product, a little hard to find, not in all places where W40 products are sold. But worth the hunt for it as it does do as the label says.

Similar to Mike, I use Rust Check on all metal parts. I do use a torque driver to tighten everything up after. Then back to the range to make sure everything is ok.

Aside from field circumstance that makes it necassary, I only remove stocks once a year, after the main hunts.

At this point in my life I've acquired enough guns that I can be choosy about what gets used when. If it's nasty out the wood stocks get left inside.

Stocks don't come off for cleaning unless the gun was in very heavy rain or otherwise soaked. This seems to happen more often with shotguns than rifles and they are broken down to component parts when out in the rain.
