Wet door gun!

I keep my CZ-82 in the pocket of my truck. Today seems to be one of my wife's "you gotta find something to eat" days and since I had a bologna sandwich for lunch I decided to go get a chick-fil-a sandwich.

As I got into the truck, I just happened to look down at the pistol, and it looks wet. I take it out of the pocket and it is soaking wet, the bottom of the pocked had a bunch of napkins in it and they are all soaking wet. It has been raining here for the past week, on and off. I check the window and it is closed tight. I guess I have a bad seal around the door that is letting in the rain, but how it got into the pocket is a real puzzlement!!

Back to the gun, that sucker is soaking wet. I do not know how long it has been that way. The magazine has a couple of rust spots on it and the grip screws are rusty. I am very glad that I had Josh (JLA) cerakote it a few years ago. When I took it apart water dripped out of it. I took it outside and douched it down (frame, slide, and magazine) with WD-40 and let if set for a few minutes. Cleaned it, oiled it up good, put it back together, and put it under the seat. I will have to find a better place for it soon!

I think I've told this story before. Back in 1987 when I first got orders transferring me to Rhode Island, I took a bunch of guns down to my daddy's house in Florida to have him hold them for me. There was a wall in one of his closets that was removable and well hidden, so I stored a few guns in there. The rifles I just stood up and the pistols, I wrapped in towels and left them on the floor. It was a couple of years before I could get back down there so of course the first thing I did was pull that wall out to check on my guns. Sometime shortly after I left them, there was a hurricane in the gulf that had damaged some of the shingles right over that hidden closet. One of the pistols that I had wrapped in a towel was wet and probably got wet every timed it rained for the past two years. When I unwrapped that wet towel, the bluing on both sides of the Colt 1911 Gold Cup peeled off with the towel. I cried!! I couldn't stand to see it so gave the gun to my brother.

Duct Tape & WD-40®: You often hear it said, "You only need two things in life: Duct Tape and WD-40®. If it moves and shouldn't, use Duct Tape, if it doesn't move and should, use WD-40®." Surely there is a reason for that.

A QUESTION OF LUBRICATION
