Anyone have issues with their SMG mags rusting!?
I just breathe near my eight and they're covered in surface rust. I'm getting pretty used to getting home and coating them in oil, let them sit a while, then scrubbing them with a light steel wool. May bead blast them at the shop and send them off for a better finish treatment...that or move out of the tropical jungles of Florida! |

Do you have the ones with the blued finish or parkerized ? I have both but neither of them gets rusty in AZ.  They're all blued. Metal followers. Amazing mags...solid built like a tank and run like a Swiss watch. I should have taken pics before cleaning them this time...really delicate finish for my environment. |

My Colt OEM (Metalform) phosphate finished mags have fared well considering they've lived in Fla for 25 years. Colt OEM Metalforms here as well...just the blued ones. I'm having s 1911 built...when I send it off for finishing I may toss these in with it! |

This seems common unfortunately. I blasted one and Cerakoted it... it came out ok but I'm not thrilled with it. I'm thinking about sending a bunch out for ionbond. I just keep them bathed in oil. 
I may try a black nitride finish and see how it performs. |
