Just picked up a Rem 700 that looks like someone spilled a can of 7up/coke on the back of the action. Back of the action is sticky/coated and when you pull the trigger , it takes a moment for the sear to move and the gun to fire!! Couldn't use the bolt release to get the bolt out, as it was stuck, had to use a screwdriver.
Been thinking about bringing it in the house and putting it under hot water in the laundry sink, then blowing out the trigger/action and hitting it with a hot hair dryer to dry it. Opinions?
Any other ideas? Too cold here to do much outside.
