| I have heard over the years that one should segregate a rusty firearm, mag, blade, etc. from others due to possibility of rust "migrating," i.e., presence of rust on one item causing another to rust. I understand the chemical process of oxidation, but what I know doesnt necessarily disprove this theory. So my question is, can the presence of rust act as a catalyst for rust in other areas or adjacent metal? And as a corollary, should one segregate items exhibiting rust from other items? |
