Why do guns rust?

A quality firearm should give you decades of reliable usage. This only happen if the firearm is maintained and stored properly. Firearms (pistols, rifles and shotguns) all uses metal components for its parts. That is, guns are made of steel, which is an iron alloy. With oxygen in the atmosphere and humidity in air it will eventually going to rust. Stainless steel guns is not rust proof but just rust resistant. Therefore without proper care and storage it will eventually susceptible to rust. 

Therefore, it is essential to clean your gun regularly and especially after firing.

  • Use high quality anti-rust oil spray: When cleaning your firearm, it is always a very good ideas to use light layer of high quality oil. 
  • Reduce humidity: All it takes a smallest amount of water content include water vapor in the air to come in contact with your firearm to begin the rusting processes.
