    Perhaps it was just simple like water in the barrel? Just a wet barrel...will do that. Not like mud or snow.

    Maybe! Thanks Jim, I did not know water in the barrel could do that. Hmmm... firing the weapon during the war with water in the barrel. OH, I bet if this thing could tell its story, it would be a great one!

    In the Pacific during an emergency, you wouldn't even know. There was enough rain too from what I understand. It could have been late too, RVN? Who knows. It did more time than one can imagine I'll bet.
