maintaining shotgun in salt/brackish water
This will be my first year hunting salt/brackish water. What do I need to do special to take care of my scattergun?
Thanks |

Keeping it oiled real good, and cleaning it as soon as you get back in from the water. Then oil a little heavily before putting it away. Alway keeping an eye out for any salt residue that builds up on the gun.

We have been hunting the coast for about 4 years and it seems no matter what we do, the salt gets to the metal. Make sure not to hold on to the metal for long periods of time. I grip my barrel while sitting in the blind and I now have a rusty hand print there. About 3 years ago, I found gunkote. It is an epoxy paint that you, your gunsmith or gunkote gunsmiths can put on the gun that will withstand hard use in salt water for about 2 seasons. I did it myself for under $50. It is worth it.
