Thread: Rust - What am I doing wrong?

Where in the country do you live? Living in the Waikato my guns just love to rust.
My dad owned a Norico 22 for 10 years living in the Manawatu and it never had a spot of rust, after moving to the Waikato it developed some serious pitting.
I have 3 blued guns which despite trying my best to keep perfectly oiled, have developed varying amounts of rust or pitting over their life times. My Remington 870 and 597 are both extremely prone to rust and even my CZ 452 get it despite much nicer/better bluing.

Funnily enough I had a Lee Enfield from 1941 and I really neglected it, never oiled the damn thing, but it never had a single spot of rust on it! The bluing looked about a 100 times better done than that on my few year old Remingtons.
