How long can you go without wiping down a blued gun

[dgludwig]

Living out in the hills in Az, (literally living out, not sleeping in a house and going out in the daytime)

Where do you plug your computer in at?

 

[Malamute]

That was in the past. I'm all civilized now.


Sort of.

I've gone as far as a day or two. No more than that though. This was with my duty weapon as well.

Some of my compadres were not as deligent with theirs though. I happen to know some of thiers went for as long as 3-4 days, after which they'd be handled and carried again.

I live in Wyoming, and it's quite arid here. I try to do it within a day or two, but I've never had a gun rust at all.

Well, except when my 870 got covered stem to stern after my basement flooded a year or two ago, but after a few days of steel wool it's as good as new minus some nasty patches of finish pitting.

Don't ever refinish that 29. That is a thing of beauty.

 

[drail]

Exactly what I was thinking. Elmer would love your S&W. I really like your rifle too.

I live in the humid and damp northeast and hardly ever wipe down my Colt 1991A1 (ORM). Done this for years and never got any rust. I carry it and put it in my nightstand draw when done for the day.

My sweat must be Ok with steel.

Wipe them down after I handle them, even in a dry climate. Definitely wipe down a carry gun after I "undress".
