If you hunt in Western Wash. near salt water you will eventually loose your paint if your not careful.

Around here I like to hunt in the bays north a bit. Salt water / air will destroy your gun!! I have seen this happen to my super black eagle and many other guns. I have seen after 1 day my remington 1187 get permanent scars in the blueing.

Carry gun oil and a cloth when hunting around the sound. An occasional wipe down - like every few hours will save your paint and your GUN!
