Twice I went overseas while stationed in the Army and each time I came back I found severe neglect with my firearms from my own brothers. one was a Remington 742 BDL which rusted in the chamber and developed pits. Every time I would fire the darned thing the round would swell up and fill in the pits and sieze.
The Second time I had a Remington 03A3 develop rust in the top of the barrel due to rain and again neglect:banghead: .
First time shame on you, second time shame on me. I will never, ever loan a gun for whatever it will be, for any length of time for any reason to anyone unless it's a true emergency. I am retired now and I don't go overseas too much
so I hope I can pass along a lesson to others with this thread. Don't loan your guns to anyone, to include friends or brothers because they will not take care of them like you will. If you have any shared thoughts or gripes, likenings or such
lets hear em.
