It's the inside that counts. Low care is different to no care. I like a well worn blued rifle with all the rights of passage blemishes. But the insides should be oiled and slick and the barrel cleaned periodically and thoroughly. Same for my stainless too.
My main blued rifle is a S&L classic. It gets cleaned after every few hunts and always if it's got wet. Battle scars galore but still treated like I love it. I want it to last through to the next generation.
