Any idea what's causing them to rust? The tritium isotope is in a sealed glass vial, so you're not gonna hurt them with anything you spray on there, unless it'll disolve glass. I'd try coating the whole gun with some automotive paste wax. I wax all of mine, makes 'em all shiny and waterproof. Molon Labe Kim |

I wipe mine down with Remington gun wipes. They're silicone cloths. Hasndling the gun a lot in the humidity will leave lots of body oils on them and cause rust. Lots of guys wipe theirs down nightly to prevent it. I don't do mine that often.

dawg are you fighting critters in them attics?  .sweat is hard on any finish even SS will rust.I would try some johnsons paste wax.a can will last a lifetime works great on rifles stocks also.I would use it on my rifles stocks before hunting season.it seals the wood really good.pete |
