ChrisJM981 924 Posted July 21, 2009 Has anyone ever seen this? I have rust on my rear sight. I've only shot it indoors and the only thing I've ever touched it with is maybe a silicon cloth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 21, 2009 stored in case or humid area ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted July 21, 2009 In a case in the basement. I'm not sure what the humidity is down there but it's a finished basement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted July 21, 2009 The safety button has some rust on it between the ridges too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malsua 1,422 Posted July 21, 2009 Rub it out with some Rem-oil and put some desiccant packs in the case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rscalzo 3 Posted July 21, 2009 Basements are notorious for humidity. If it is stored in a cabinet, use a Goldenrod. If not, a large size descendant and either change or renovate it often. You might want to look into a dehumidifier in the basement area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted July 21, 2009 Rub it out with some Rem-oil and put some desiccant packs in the case. Is Rem-oil a specific type or can I use any gun oil? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coldsolderjoint 84 Posted July 21, 2009 rem-oil is a cleaner/lubricant in one can. I think any cleaner would work, clp, rem-oil, good old hoppes #9 and oil, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 21, 2009 i would get it out of case + basement - use oil or wax to protect it after you clean off existing rust - wipe down to remove fingerprints before storing - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
