I’m no stranger to running around the woods in winter. However I just read an article over at F&S by the Gun nuts that made me smile,

“Right: I cleaned all the oil out of my gun’s action and used just a bit of BreakFree. It cycled perfectly.

Wrong: Unfortunately I neglected to do the same to the magazine tube and spring. After a while it froze so I couldn’t load a second or third shell, turning my gun into a single shot.

Wrong: I should have followed reader Chris McLure’s tip about putting electrical tape over the muzzle of a gun to keep it free of mud and snow. As it was, snow got in the barrel of my gun. I cleared it by blowing the snow down the barrel and some of that snow must have gotten into the bolt, melted, then froze, eventually freezing my firing pin. My gun went from a three-shot to a single shot to a gun that just make a clicking sound when I pulled the trigger.”
