Rusting Remington 870 Express

Last duck season I bought a new Remington 870 Express. While it has shot very well the damn thing won't stop rusting on me! [:(!]

After shooting this week end I noticed that I failed to do a proper job in maintenance. Any ideas how I should go about fixing this?

    Perhaps a drop of oil would help.

    Remove cob webs and rust spot then apply Remoil to prevent further rusting.

    Kroil I recently started using to help get rid of rust on neglected items ( not mine originally [:D]) works great .


    I have used break free ( CLP ) for many years it removes light rust and protects the metal and has a wide temperature range .never had any issues . they also make a long term storage variation . the military has used it for years . give it a try
    I clean it well if rusty let it set for a day or two then clean may need to repeat process . then give it a light coat for storage .
    I have given the same suggestions to friends who started using it also .
    also wipe off your finger prints as you sweat has salt acts like a mid acid on firearms and do not store in a carry style case that traps moisture . I use the silicone treated sleeves in the safe they also help protect the minor contact with other firearms in the safe

    Guns are metal, ducks like water, guns don't like water...
    Keep em oiled or there are coating jobs

    For 180 you get a baked on ceracote finish that won't rust

    Ducks have feathers and don't like oil so it's not a good idea to keep your ducks oiled.

    Also, it's ok to put your ducks in the safe dirty .... they don't rust.

    A wet duck doesn't fly at night.[:D]
    Were you hunting in or around salt water?
    If so, you need to disassemble the gun and clean immediately after hunting![;)]

    Clean off the rust and spray a coating of WD-40 Specialist. it will be rust proof for a year. Be sure to get the Specialist not the regular WD40.
