[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2941132, member: 8394"] Those vintage remingtons were really bad about that. Had a guy come hunting with us with a brand new 870 from about that vintage. We were boat hunting the east side of kodiak Island, and had skiffed in to jump some ducks. Half way up the hill the wind switched on shore, so we headed down to the dingy. By time we got to the boat it had come up a bit sporty and it took a few hrs to get to a safe anchorage. He pulled the shotgun out of the sleeve and it was absolutely orange. Didn't think that rust was capable of forming in a matter of hours like that, granted it was all surface but it absolutely bloomed orange from the salt spray. It isn't isolated to remington. Parts of one of my "stainless" savage boat rifles rusts really bad. [/QUOTE]
