I had this problem several times and found a solution for me - get a container (a flat 2 quart baking dish works well) and fill it with kerosene or gasoline. Immerse the gun in it. The idea is to get the gas/kerosene to displace the water. Any hydrocarbon liquid (diesel) should work. BTW - take the wood grips off.... AND NO SMOKING!!! (sorry for the shouting, but safety is important).
