The day was spent in my basement reloading a bunch of bullets. As I was finishing I went to my gun room and picked up my 22-250. I tried to cycle the bolt and it was very stiff. Trigger didn't want to work either. A close look reveal RUST . checked several others and found another with same problem.
My gun room is built on an out side wall of the house and is insulated but this past summer was very wet. Lots of rain and humidity. The two guns affected haven't be out for a couple of years. The rest seem to be OK.
I thought about breaking them down and doing a thorough cleaning and oiling but not sure if that will be enough. It might be best to take them to my gunsmith and him do it. I'm just sick.
Think I'll build a gun locker.
