Gentlemen, It would be extremely helpful for any advice on this matter.
On a new Browning Belgium Superposed B25, the top rib after a flurry of shots at clays the barrels became warm. There appeared to be a very small amount of clear liquid bubbling out from underneath the top rib just forward of the chambers.
I don't think this is moisture left after the rust bluing process because the barrels have got hot enough several times to thoroughly dry them out.
If the gun is stored after every two to three weeks there appears to be slightly brown small moisture bubbles appearing at the side of the rib. I wipe it off, oil the gun and put it away. This reappears occasionally every 2 or 3 weeks.
The gun is 100% dry stored as are all my other guns, yet this keeps occuring on this gun. Is it something to do with the solder, flux or something else that is attracting moisture and causing it to condense in this one specific area?
To me it looks like there is something under the rib or in the solder that is pulling in, moisture from the atmosphere.
Was the wrong type of solder used, wasn't it neutralised properly or what - I can't see FN Browning using the wrong flux...
any advice on the cause and cure would be well appreciated.
regards,
Jonty
