Ok, I have a PSL that I love dearly. It's an early import, had it forever. My problem is, it's a rust magnet on the barrel. This being said, I've left it for weeks and came back and the surface rust just wipes off. But it's still irritating. Is this a major problem? How long in that condition until the gun just rusts away? Of course if I keep it wiped down it's fine. But if I take the gun camping or to my cabin, I don't want to have to baby it. To sum it up, my question is this: Is leaving surface rust on the gun going to destroy it very quickly, and is it something I should worry about? I know it can hurt the finish, but I'm more worried about the gun as a whole. |
And yes that's definitely bad. But I'm wondering if it's actually the metal that's rusting, or the finish. Because at this point, I should have no gun left considering the number of times I've had to do this. edit: And is this normal, or should I have the thing refinished? |
The main reason I ask, is I plan on taking this gun with me camping for a month or two. I don't want to bring a cart of cleaning supplies (the gun is supposed to be rugged!). Would it be adequate to just wipe it down every once and a while or should I have it refinished prior? |
