This very interesting and new to me but i am wondering if you submerge your barrels in oil all the time and only take them out for use the aroma of oil would be too much? and also if you did'nt had gun bearer it would be hard to carry it..I have heard of things like packing a salt in very fine Muslin cloth and keeping in your gun case never tried it so i am not sure how effective that is.

I have been using packets of silica gel ..and they really work! but of course back in days things were harder.

Can anyone enlighten me on process called " Slakum process" used by Purdey for their stocks.

Cheerio!
