re: Submerged shotgun

what we did in the navy when shotguns got dunked in salt water/ salt spray.. before.. anything ELSE.

coated and infused with dawn(a dawn like product)... light scrubbing... and moving of action..

then hit with hose pretty good..

then took apart and cleaned..

especially if sand got in there - all the oil/grease needs to be removed.. with all the plastic parts in a nova i would be leery of boiling...

dawn accomplishes what the boiling will do...
