Hey, out of interest I think I found the issue with the sig barrel rusting. In the weihrauch manual of all places.
Recons don't put the weihrauch in foam lined cases without a plastic liner as the foam may with the metal. Sure enough the weihrauch started to do the same thing as the sig. Live and learn. |

Yes its said the foam cells hold moisture so prolonged contact can cause rusting. Also the cases themsilves being plastic shell dont breathe well so hold in water vapor. 'Ideally' hard cases should be used really only for transport, and short term storage - between shooting and storing in a gun safe or cupboard that allows air flow around it.. I have a FWB 300s that lives in a foam lined hard case, I give it a really good wipe down with oil before storing away to give a good barrier. (Reminds me i need to check it!)

I experimented with a couple of things when first read it.
Settled on a dam good oiling and wrapped it in gun cloth along the barrel. Thats worked fine. I am currently looking for an alternate liner. So far have considered rubber or the ever useful camping mat. |
