get it blued properly, AA blueing is not the best, apart from that keep it as dry as you can, wipe it over often and never use WD40 on it (except as a first treatment after a session shooting in the rain) wipe it over with a cloth soaked in something like the old style 3 in 1 oil or even a bit of old gear box oil, and the rust spot you have rub it hard with a bit of decent oil on the end of your finger, if that does not reduce or get rid of it use the finest wire wool or an old scouring pad with oil to reduce it
