The battle against rust

The first time you hunt in salt water, you’ll be surprised on how fast rust can form on your barrel. Same day, same hunt, right before your eyes! Years past I used a factory wrapped gun, dried it off, and ran it with minimal oil. Then, I fell in love with a compact 20g that only came blued. After one season, it was wrecked despite my efforts. One client looked over at it on her first sea duck hunt and exclaimed, “I didn’t know they made an M2 in 1874!” After spitting my coffee out in laughter, I knew I had to do something. Pacific Extreme Sports in Sacramento sent it in to get Cerakoted. You can choose from a huge selection of colors. I kept it grey and black to match the boat. It looks like a brand new gun, y’all!
