I hunted a pit in mo. last week and a couple of guys at the other end had autos ,,the same two were talking about the sbe and gold.they bragged about how they were the duck champs ,,and when i looked in there shell bag they both had big cans of wd 40,,,they thought every duck hunter had that in there bag,,i said whats that for ,,well we have to keep em clean ...or they start hangin up,,but our pumps never checked up ,just kept on flamin...i own a couple of autos but there just for doves and skeet and anything that is warm weather.For some reason those cold dirty duck blinds are hard on themJAMAMATICS,,
