Rust !

[brokenscope]

I have a new apex stainless that is a few months old. It had a few spots of rust when l got it so l just wiped it down good. It keeps coming back and more spots are coming up even when heavily oiled. Do you think a rust neutralizer would work?

I was using a aerosol Hoppes product this summer that would bead up and trap moisture on stainless. Terrible product. I went back to plain ole remoil no issue.
Also if i leave gun in hard case i have had trouble

You can buy this at many hardware store like Ace. It came out on top in a couple torture tests. Shotgun world did one of them IIRC.

Had the same problem a few years ago with my stainless MLII. After
trying various remedies only to have the spots reoccur, I came up
with this procedure.

Cleaned the oil off the barrel with acetone.
Removed the rust spots with Blue Wonder rust remover.
Cleaned the BL off with acetone.
Waxed with Flitz gun wax. It lasts for months with occasional wipe down.
(A couple spots did not come off with Blue Wonder, but when
working in Flitz on those areas, the rust did disappear.)

I use a product called RIG I used it on my service revolver and them on my Glock In all kinds of weather no rust. I take about a half can and a half of a tee shirt I work it in till the shirt is completely worked in I keep it in a jar and I wipe all my guns down SS or Blue Humidity is very high here by the ocean and I never have any rust One treatment in a tee shirt will last years
