Don't sound like youever used 777 & kept her dirty for two weeks while spit-patching either! Sounds also like you'rereaching real hardfor a poor excuse - since only one spit patch would not leave much body salt in the bore anyways.

If you really paid close attention to my post, I was talking about mega-shots range work - then not cleaning your gun for an extended period - up-to 14 days. I'm also not saying everyone eats Big Macs before they go to the range either. All I'm saying is that salt from your spit will rust a bore in given time after extensive range work- if kept unclean. If you don't believe me, that's fine with me.

I'm really getting tired of all the idiotic, negativeresponseson ML boardswhere someone disputessomeone else's words without trying the experiment first. As a result of so much negativity, I'm going tobegin offeringexclusive adviceon ML-ing hereat Hunting.net &on other ML boards of the internet using only their Personal Message Features. I will still respond to alot of troubled posters secretly here& not have to deal with theincompetent replies.

Take extra ML care folks &Adios Amigos.
