** ETA **. Builder got back with me this morning, said it looks to him like a bad batch of paint that bubbled up after heating and formed moisture, he's going to refinish the barrel for me no charge and said the barrel did not have any rust when it was built and he does not see any problem fixing this. Sweet!
1960s type 3 Hungarian barrel. In the safe tonight and noticed some rust on the barrel. Humidity in safe has been between 50-54% since this gun was placed in there in April. Two Chinese and another Hungarian plus numerous ARs and pistols have no rust at all.
This is a nos barrel that was just built and put in service in April.
So a few questions.
1. What do I do to stop further rust?
2. What can I do to remove this rust if anything?
3. Does it look to you like this is "new" rust or was it painted over by the builder (I did not see the barrel when it was a kit, I bought the gun newly built with only test fired usage). The barrel has about 200 rounds through it.
