WILLIAM M. KEIL Tuxedo Park, N. Y. 
Occasionally a gun should be dis- 
mounted to clean out the mechanism and 
oil the inaccessible parts. The first step 
towards dismounting a gun, if it is a i 
take-down arm, is to unscrew the barrel 
and then remove the butt stock. This 
will give free access to the interior mech- 
anism, and no unnecessary dismounting 
should be done unless it is found ad- : 
visable to do so for the benefit of the 
gun. No attempt should be made to un- 
screw the barrel from the frame of a 
solid-frame arm unless in case of re- 
placing a barrel with a new one, as it is 
sometimes a difficult piece of work for f 
the amateur to do safely. By using | 
screwdrivers of different sizes and copper 'j 
or brass punches, the work of dismount- | 
ing can generally be accomplished with- 
out much trouble, but considerable care 
should be exercised to see that each part | 
is replaced in its proper position. | 
17 VERY sportsman who has two or 
^ more guns or even one good gun, 
should have a gun cabinet. The selection fj 
of a gun cabinet that is best suited to |‘jj 
one’s particular needs is governed by the j 
number of guns it is to hold, the furniture fl 
it is to match, and whether or not space is 
desired for reloading tools, fishing tackle 
or other hunting equipment. A gun cab- 
inet will not only protect the guns from 
dust and injury, but will provide a safe 
and attractive place for the storage of ! 
the weapons of the chase. If one is 
handy with tools, a satisfactory gun cab- 
inet can be made at home during spare j 
time at little expense. 
Whenever a rifle is to be laid away for 
any great length of time, the writer has 
found that the plan of giving the gun a 
second cleaning and oiling on the fol- | 
lowing day, is a plan that is well worth 
following if the weapon is to be preserved 
in the best condition. If the bore has 
been cleaned perfectly and coated with a 
good grade of gun grease, and grease is j 
applied to the exterior metal surfaces, 
the gun can be put away in a dry place i 
and it will be protected from rust in- !' 
definitely. ? 
While there are many things to be ! 
taken into consideration in taking the | 
proper care of a rifle, the chief factor i 
that must be dealt with is the prevention | 
of rust on the metal parts of the gun. | 
Rust is the rifle’s worst enemy and it ! 
does the least harm on the outside sur- ;i 
faces of the gun where it is easily seen, jj 
When rust once gets a hold on the deli- i 
cate bore of a rifle it generally comes to 1 
stay and can do a lot of damagd in a| 
short time unless its activities are ar- ' 
rested by rust preventatives. It makes 
no- difference how many times a gun has 
been fired, only once or a hundred times, 
as the bore must be thoroughly cleaned 
and oiled within a few hours after the 
last shot was fired, or it will begin to 
take on rust. There is no remedy for a 
badly rusted or pitted rifle-barrel and the | 
only alternative in most cases is to pur- j 
chase a new barrel or discard the gun 
entirely and buy a new one. Therefore 
it can be seen by reading this article that j 
the rudiments of rifle preservation are i 
bound up largely in rust prevention. i
