Hello everyone, I ask the old timers and anyone with better general gun knowledge than i posses to give me some info/tips on dealing with rust on a couple of firearms i own.
1. Mosin Nagant bolt is starting to rust on the bolt handle, just noticed this today and brushed with the bold with solvent and re-oiled and that seemed to help but don't know what is causing it
2. Savage 93r17 great little rifle but being only a year and a half old the bottom of the gun near the trigger guard is rusting...i'll clean the gun well and oil it but it is rusting for whatever reason.
Q. What exactly is causing this, and what to do to eliminate this problem or prevent it getting worse? thx.
