I was in a hunting club in the swamp. Boat in and out. I take care of my things and always wiped down my gun with gun oil and it always had surface rust. If you have some magic gun oil let me know the brand.

I hunt in brackish marsh, boat in and out. Wipe down with rem oil and take out of the case back at the camp. I clean with clp when I get back to the house, which seems to be a better corrosion inhibitor than Rem oil. Although rem oil seems to work fine for several days at the camp. Most important is not keeping it in the case and making sure the case can open up and dry out from time to time. Gun is a beretta 3901 with matte blued barrel. I’ve had rust before, if I forget to wipe down, but nothing a little fine steel wool couldn’t handle. I also use a waterproof gun case.

Cerakote is great, but I still like the look of wood so I just keep up with it. My gun has plenty of handling marks on it though, it’s been through a lot in the last 15 years but I’ve been able to keep it from rusting.
