[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 2941987, member: 36369"] As others have said, the satin finish on most hunting guns will let moisture seep into the pores of the metal and allow rust to form if there isn't an adequate coating of oil. It's fairly easy to remove if you do it right. Do NOT use regular steel wool, as it will remove the blueing. Buy some stainless-steel steel wool from Brownells. With that and some WD-40, the rust will come off and the bluing won't be harmed. Never put a wet firearm in a case with any type of absorbent lining. It will cause it to rust quickly and holds the moisture in. [/QUOTE]
