I would suggest you guys look at the event forum on the nspl site and draw conclusions from the posts from people who were in fact present.
And oil in fact damages some of the modern guns such as Ions.
I and nobody else especially Syd I imagine is happy that this happened but since it has we can only judge on what is being done at this point, and that is he is trying to get things sorted.
If it transpires that something was noticed half way through the day and nothing done... well thats a different issue.
Damages guns!
Some types of oil may damage in the long term some of the seals, but that is the limit I am sure, unless oil damages the metal in SP guns!
It should not have happened, it did. from that point on what would you want them to do!
I am not defending what happened, I am supporting what they are doing since it has.
If they should have stopped the event at dinner time is a completely different matter.
