Liberty or death Jr. Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Hey new here, I don't see anyone with a nova H20 tactical. I am about to buy one with an extra 26 inch nova barrel so I have a stainless duck gun and also a reliable home protection gun. Anyone else done the same or anything like that? Quote
sonyman74 Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I have a SuperNova tactical for home protection and a Nova for hunting. Not s/s but I like them. Quote
Cleric Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 As far as I know, the stainless barrel only comes in rifle sights. So, for a duck gun, you'd have to get used to swinging with those. I have a standard Nova that is my muck gun. I havent' had any problems with rust on it that would make me want to swap out to stainless. Besides, in MT, if you clean it well, you don't have enough humidity to worry about any serious rust. (Dillon is home for me) Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 The tactical barrel is stainless, the 26 inch nova barrel is not. I am not worried about the barrel, I just wanted the action stainless. I am buying it tomarrow so I might wind up with just a supernova. I like the stainless for so many reasons but I don't know if the price is worth it. With the spare barrel and the stainless gun it going to run about $700. The benelli supernova is camo and already has the barrel and only costs about $450 or so. You would be surprised about how wet it is here. I almost went hunting today and it was freezing cold and sleeting, so thats why I was looking into stainless. I know several people here that have novas that are plenty happy with them. I'll make up my mind tomarrow. Quote
sonyman74 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Well, I live in Louisiana and it is always humid here and I did not clean my Nova from last year and have no rust. I cleaned it a week ago and it looked as good as new and I have had the gun 3 1/2 years now. Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 Well, I got a camo nova but I am a little disapointed. It looks like the gun has a little rust or something. What should I do with it. It seems to be well lubed but it was the display gun. I'm going duck hunting here in a minute and when I get back I'll clean it and lube it up. Quote
Cleric Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 If you just bought it and it has rust, return it. At the very least, take it back to the store and make them clean it up (or give you a good discount). As for regular lube and rust-prevention, my Nova does well on the Breakfree CLP. Good stuff.

Liberty or death Jr. Posted October 22, 2006 Author Posted October 22, 2006 It only had a little bit and I was able to get it off. You think they would still clean it up or take it back even though I used it once? Where do you get the Breakfree CLP? I have never heard of it. Quote
Cleric Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Bob Wards might carry it. I know the Sportman's Warehouse in Missoula does. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Hoppes Elite is essentiall the same stuff and is available at most Sporting Goods and Wal-Mart. Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted October 22, 2006 Author Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks, I'll look for it. Quote
