Rust Problem with New Remington Firearms?

[U.S. Patriot]

I got a Mossberg Maverick that doesn't have a rusting problem. Remington must really be going downhill. Well Remington has been going all downhill since they introduced the 597 that could not feed a full mag without jamming.

The 597 I had functioned 100%. It would feed every kind of ammo I fed it, From sub-sonics to hyper velocity. The generation 1 and 2 mags had a lot of problems. I switched to the 3rd generation and problem solved.

I've noticed the overall quality of EVERYTHING Remingcrap has diminished significantly and gradually over the last 20 years. I will NEVER give them another dime of my money after my last experience with their ammo......It's much easier to just buy Mossberg, Winchester, etc.....from the start.

I have to disagree. Maybe there quality has went downhill but saying you would rather buy a mossberg WOW thats harsh a Mossberg is pretty cheaply made in my opinion.

I have an issued 870 that stays in the trunk of my car most of the time. It's in there with (usually) three other long guns and is the only one that rusts. I have to completely oil it almost weekly to keep it from competely rusting. Nothing else that I keep in my trunk that is metal has that problem.

My Remington 700 SPS is the same way. I have to take it out and wipe it down regularly because the entire receievr and barrel will start to lightly rust after only a few days. None of the other firearms or knives that are sitting next to it have that problem.

Because both of those are Black Oxide finished. Do your self a favor and get them parkerized..

yeah, they have the same finish. I may have the 700 redone, butt he 870 is an issued weapon so that one gtes a coat of CLP every other week until it's replaced with an AR.

With most firearms manufacturers cheapening their finishes these days its more important than ever to use a rust preventative.

Eezox is best, hard to find but once applied you can dunk the gun in salt water and it won't rust. Neutralizes fingerprints and only needs to be applied a couple times a year unless your constantly using the gun.

No retail sales in Indiana but username CoyoteCreekGuns, a member here has some he will sell you.

Apply that and let us know if you can find any rust.

I noticed this on my 870 after I had it in the woods around Thanksgiving.
