[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2951186, member: 126670"] I still cannot see how these suppressors attract water, and rust barrels. I sent this video to my friend who is a chemical engineer, and asked her opinion about this increasing barrel rust. Her reply was "no". I don't have a fancy place to store my guns, and they get used outside in the rain, on ATVs and horses in all weather, and through the mud, water crossings etc. At night I bring it in, wipe it off with a towel, and store it in the corner of my cabin. My cabin doesn't even have insulation, and has lots of big gaps where I can see daylight through they are so big, so its often humid inside. All i do is throw some silica around the floor area by where they lean against the wall, and my barrels are not rusty. Then i texted my friend who lives in Vegas, owns 27 guns, and 8 have a suppressor. Asked him if he tskes them off whe not shooting, so his gun barrels don't rust while being stored. His response "Why would my barrels rust any more with a suppressor than without? I don't follow your question ". So i wrote him back explaining this thread, and some of its comments. He called me about 2 minutes later laughing, and said in his opinion as an avid gun fan, and from a family full of gun fans, that nobody has ever so much as mentioned to him that they could make a barrel rust. He did think it was funny though. It just seems illogical to me that they will rust your rifle barrel if left on. They also get very hot when fired, so would quickly boil out any moisture that may have been created by shooting. That's a lot of flame, and heat. Water doesn't stand much chance inside of a suppressor. [/QUOTE]
