[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 216142, member: 2580"] Yeah Rusty, one of the rifles I know about was mine. I sent it back to them, they refinished the stock, and by the time it got back to me, it was already swelling up again and oozing the white crap (salt) out of the end grain at the forend and around the safety and trigger guard. That's all they did. They didn't reblue the metal. I restocked it and had it reblued and forgot about sending anything back to them. My brother had the same experience with them. They should have replaced your rifle, period. I've got nothing to lose experimenting with the stock that I have. I'm going to research salt removal or neutralization and take a stab at it. Low priority. Doesn't look promising. Tom [/QUOTE]
