This thought popped up in my head the other day and it got me to thinking. Earlier this summer I stripped the paint off a couple rifles with citristrip and a power washer and I got to thinking about if water could get forced into the threaded areas of the barrel nut or between the barrel extension/receiver. What do you guys think, if those areas were properly greased before assembly (I know my rifles are) would water seep into these areas from using a power washer or submerging the rifle in water for an extended period of time?

I've seen plenty of them drenched. Shake the water off and go about your business.

Fire 100 rounds and a water saturated rifle will be bone dry.
