I have a Mossberg 500 that's starting to rust on the outside of the barrel.
Please school me on how to stop this process.

"Then there are sheepdogs. The sheepdogs are the bastions of safety. The sheepdog lives solely to protect the flock and confront the wolf. They live for the opportunity to be called to duty to protect the innocent. The sheepdog has fangs and the propensity for violence but hopes that he will not have to resort to it. However, he lives for that day when he will be able to use his warrior skills and mindset to keep the wolf from harming the sheep." -
oil, clp, froglube. many options friend, just keep it lubed and rust will be a thing of the past.
I had the same thing happen to my bedside 500 from lying on the carpet, used fine steel wool and clp and wiped right off! -
Hmm. Need to find steel wool."Then there are sheepdogs. The sheepdogs are the bastions of safety. The sheepdog lives solely to protect the flock and confront the wolf.

How do you store it? Never keep it in a soft case or hard case for a long period of time. Always keep a good oil on it and that's pretty much itComment

Forget about oiling it. In a short time oil will move, leaving the steel susceptible to rust again. IMO, your best bet is to use RIG (Rust Inhibiting Grease), made by Birchwood Casey and sold by Brownell's and others. It contains calcium sulfonate and is the best rust preventative you can put on you guns. With RIG in the barrel and chamber and on the exterior, I've stored guns for years without a spot of rust on any of them.
An old piece of T shirt impregnated with RIG and wiped over the guns after handling and before putting them in the rack will insure that they'll be free of rust. I've used this method for over 40 years.Comment

look up Eezox, found to be the best rust inhibitor by far.Last edited by thomashoward; 11-28-2012, 6:39 PM.http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/...0fa5fefab1.jpghttp://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/...Untitled-2.jpghttp://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/...tar76148_1.jpg
