Don't let your guns look like this

JR at A Keyboard and a .45 has posted photos showing a .50 BMG rifle that was not cleaned after shooting corrosive ammo. Makes me want to cry to see something that like so abused!

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Thanks for the link Steve. It just breaks my heart to see any tool abused like this, especially one that I most likely will never be able to afford.
Learned this lesson the hard way with an nice old Mosin 91 made before the
barrels were chromed (WWI) years ago in college. Seeing pits in that bore
made me almost ill...and waaaaay more careful afterward.
