City water or good well water are very low in any type of salt. Sea water normally runs about 5% salt. Brine (saturated salt water) is 26%. Any water below 26% salt will absorb salt. Ph of water is more important City water will run 7 to 8 Ph. Well water will run close to the same Ph. Low Ph is acidic very corrosive. High Ph is caustic very corrosive. Long story short use city water.

I shot one in SASS matches my 1st year because that is what I had. It ran reliably if I shot 158gr bullets crimped in the grease grove. Very slow and clunky to try and shoot fast accurately. This in 2000 so targets were smaller but still very slow and clunky. I still have it as my main truck gun for the farm because it is very accurate at a slow rate of fire. I would not recommend it for a SASS competition rifle.

This is a picture of the AD laying on top of the Bond. Hinge pins are lined up.

I have an AD in 38 and a Bond Mini in 45. The AD is a very nice gun and does resemble the original Remington. With the AD you must remember to manually set the safety on before closing the gun. The safety automatically disengages when cocked. The AD I have only hits half the top firing pin with the hammer shuttle. It finally broke and wouldn't fire the top barrel. Ordered a replacement part and it only engages half the top firing pin. I have examined 2 other AD 38"s at gun shows and they had the same issue. However it is a beautiful gun and I had mine engraved by Kelley Lassiter and
