Take remarkable care of all my weapons wiped down at the range and a wipe down at home when I pull them out of the bag.

This one is one arrow not the Indian

How long was it in "the bag"?  What did you wipe it down with.  



Just curious.

The range is an hour away after I unload all the weapons get a rub down with CLP then into the safe...a detail clean usually follow a few days before the next range trip

Good for you.  I have a SS Noveske barrel that has shown signs of rust.

What's your point?

"Hey, my (insert barrel name here) got DIRTY after I shot it!!  What the heck is up with that?  I replaced it with a (insert other barrel company name here)."

Seriously?  We've got 5 MP-5's assigned to our SWAT Team, after a typical summer training day (in Texas) they get wiped down, cleaned and put away, and I STILL have to take them out a couple of days later to make sure rust isn't forming due to the copious amounts of sweat and other moisture that can get onto/into guns and crevices.

I love these threads. Instead of contacting the manufacturer first, the offended person jumps on the internet to bitch about.
What do you think is going to happen? We are going tojump on your bandwagon and go with you to somsone else?

These threads are pathetic.

And I should take it the use of a certain brand in all caps has no particular purpose in this thread, it was done so "just because"?

I have some rust, and that rusted!!!  


This thread makes me think of the B-52's...   "TIN ROOF!!!...  rusted!!!"      


Here is the cure:

Rusty Nail

1 1/2 oz Scotch whisky
1/2 oz Drambuie® Scotch whisky
1 twist lemon peel


Pour the scotch and drambuie into an old-fashioned glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with the lemon twist.

All Magpul steel parts are Mil Spec Mag-Phosphate finished. They should rust at the same rate as the other steel parts on a military M16.

That said we are switching over most steel parts to a Melonite finish which is harder wearing and more corrosion resistant than Mag-Phosphate.

No way, man.  You mean Spike's Tactical was right in making all their stuff with a melonite coating?  I thought someone there just liked melons.
