[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 193057, member: 8873"] I am gonna do a little venting: While I was gone my best friend since pee-wee football borrowed my Savage 7mm(for him to hunt with), my sporterized 1903 Springfield 30-06(for his girlfriend's teen son), and my cheap little .223(for her younger son). I went to pick them up last night and....SON OF A B!&CH!!!! The .223 and 30-06 have rust all over the entire barrel and receiver, and the 7mm's bolt was rusted so bad I had to use a very liberal amount of force to open it! When I pulled it out of his gun cabinet it was off safe. When I pick up a firearm the first thing I do is check clear. After I forced the bolt open I seen there were rounds in the magazine, so I stuck my pinky in the chamber and what do you know...it has a round with so much varnish the extractor failed!!! I don't really know what to do, I was so disgusted I left and haven't said anything. I just sprayed a bunch of brake cleaner down the barrel and will let it sit for a while and push it out with a cleaning rod. I also went coyote hunting this morning. I took the .223, the bore didn't look bad but I hadn't cleaned it yet. Had my wife drop me off about two miles from home on her way to work and I start hunting my way home. The first stand I score on a nice sized grey fox and the shell is stuck in the chamber and I can't get it out! So I just got done limping my gimped *** over hills and through several creeks in a very bad mood!!! Thanks for the vent!
