Found another gun
I found another gun today. It had been there a while so if you lost one three to six months ago or may even longer near the zion in Jupiter tell me what it is and its yours

Re: Found another gun
Rob allen or not
just curious, after that long in the water is the gun even salvagable? Full of barnacles? Mech locked up? |

Re: Found another gun
Most guns are salvageable even after a year's immersion. We've rehabbed JBLs that were down a year (judging by the size of the barnacles on them) by cleaning the trigger housing and puttng a new tube on it. The corroding aluminum tube protected the stainless steel bits.

Re: Found another gun
I remember a while back someone found a gun that had been down there for a while and it was still loaded. They pulled the trigger and the gun fired. Reloaded the shaft and it worked again.

Re: Found another gun
Good on you for returning it. My buddy Clint found a RA110 all encrusted on the bottom about ten years ago. He's probably shooting more fish with it today than a majority of people in his area..

Re: Found another gun
The answer to that question is yes looking at the gun its probably not going to be pretty again but with a little work it will fish the mech works now

Re: Found another gun
Forget looking for fish, I'm going to dive the area looking for guns!
