My house was flooded, and in haste to evacuate, I placed two rifles in a Cabela's Safari gun case. The flood lasted about three weeks, but I didn't check the case after the flood. After about another five months, ( today) I remembered about the rifles, and went to retrieve the case. To my horror, I found that white ants have entered the case. I had taken bolts off both rifles, and the ants may have intered the bore as well. They certainly plug up some holes in the muzzle brakes. Both rifles have synthetic stock, so I assume that these white ants did not chow on my rifles. However, they left excrement trails all over both rifles and the scopes. I'd be very grateful for any reccommendation for cleaning up the rifles. These are custom Remington rifles built by a welknown bean field specialist. I live half way across the US (the other side of the world), and sending the rifles back to the smith would be quite an expensive task.
