I have a scotty with an oil blacked finish. Regardless of how much oil I throw at it, including spraying it in the head cover, it rusts like a rusty thing the moment there is the merest hint of moisture in the air.


The trick is to oil it before you store it. I've kept a rifle for over 20 years now; much of the paint is gone in some places, all that is needed is a wipe with gun oil and it never rusts. Believe me, its been to some wet places.
