hello pal.

 

applying gun oil will not remove rust,is more of a pervention than a cure. i would look at where your storing the gun, rifles are rust magnets if not looked after.

 

if you have some light serface rust,take some tin foil screw it up and with a very small amount of oil(drop or two) rub it down the action of the gun, this will remove the rust but not scratch the blueing of the action. good wipe and clean down after and will look lots better.

 

when you have been out remove the stock and alowe the gun to warm up/dry out nateraly,when dry take you gun oil and cloth and rub the rifle over leaving a very light even coat on all the metal parts,thus perventing more rusting while in storage.

 

hope this helps a little pal.

Also a pull through with an oily patch prevents rusting in the barrel. Just make sure to pull through again with a clean patch before firing. Pull it through three or four times, until the patch comes out totally clean.

 

Make sure that wherever you store the rifle isn't too humid, as moisture in the air will accelerate any rusting.

Hey Matt. thanks for the help mate i keep my gun in its case, Is this a bad place to keep it???

that all depends on if your putting it away wet or alot colder then the room temp,ie its condensating. if its a plastic or leather slip will often not help as its harder for it to "breath".

 

as matt says make shure where your storing it is to damp/humid ect ect.
