Recoil Bob, we recovered everything from six fathoms hard bottom: the Fox is being restored in Ontario, binoculars in Montana, and opened shells for bismuth and TM reloading, replaced the Merc 9.8 computer black box. Everything was pretty well in one place except for my buddies' 870 and A5 in padded cases, of which one settled 100 metres away.

A lesson is not to write off a gun because it has been in salt water for extended time; in this case, six months. I wiped off the slimy orange rust, put it fresh water, then methyl hydrate, oiled and shipped it off to the 'smith without any visible rust. I must have had a fair bit of 10W30 on my pullthrough because the barrels were as perfect as they left the factory in 1925. Regards, King
