I had a Fox Sterlingworth out in a frog strangler whilst hunting grouse a couple of years ago. Dried it off and swabbed the tubes back at the cabin and got up the next morning to go out and the safety almost wouldn't budge but triggers and lever seemed OK. When I got back home I opened her up and nearly hit the floor when I saw how much rust had formed on many of the internals.. Apparently, there was no grease or lubricant on these surfaces when it's previous owner or his gunsmith had it serviced (it was re-case colored) at some point. I spent hours abating rust. Kind of has me freaked out about taking the old timers out in a real soaker.
