If you own a firearm, one of the most important things you can do to keep it in good working condition is to prevent gun rust.\u00a0<\/span> Rust is your guns’ worst enemy. It can eat away at the metal, literally deteriorating it. This major discoloration makes your firearms look old and unattractive. On top of how your weapon looks, rust can cause several performance and safety complications. The surfaces of your gun that have been roughed up due to rust can create drag, causing pressure and friction. This can mean a number of things, such as a rusty magazine could prevent loading or a rusted barrel could explode. Avoiding gun rust is essential. Thankfully there are a few things you can do to prevent it from occurring.<\/span> Continue scrolling to find out more.<\/span> As mentioned above, preventing gun\u00a0<\/span>rust<\/span><\/a> is essential for every firearm owner. Looks and performance aside, the safety issues rust can cause are quite concerning and need to be taken seriously. As a gun owner, your number one priority is safety for you and those around you. Properly taking care of your weapon, including preventing gun rust, could be the difference between life and death.<\/span> MANAGE THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY<\/b> \u2014 Firearms are happiest when stored at 70\u00b0 Fahrenheit with 50% humidity. It’s best to keep the temperature at which you store your guns at a consistent temperature to avoid the expansion and contraction of your weapon. Sudden temperature changes can create condensation, which may lead to rust.<\/span> ADDRESS RUST ASAP<\/b> \u2014 If your firearm shows signs of rust, it is essential to address it right away. Carefully disassemble and clean your gun.<\/span> USE WHITE GLOVES FOR HANDLING<\/b> \u2014 When handling your stored guns, wear white gloves to prevent the transfer of oils from your hands to the firearm. Moreover, wearing white gloves will allow your weapon to let you know if it is clean or not. A dirty, oily, or rusty gun will make its mark on your clean white gloves.<\/span> CERAKOTE COATING<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Protect your guns with\u00a0<\/span>Cerakote Coating<\/span><\/a>, a durable ceramic finish that protects metal, plastic, polymers, and wood. You can avoid wear and tear, rust and corrosion, scratches and dents, and more.<\/span> AVOID SHORT-TERM STORAGE SOLUTIONS<\/b> \u2014 Gun cases should only be used to help your get your gun from one place to another. Firearms should never be stored for too long in a soft or hard gun case since they can trap and hold moisture around your gun.<\/span> One of the best ways to be safe on your hunt is to make sure you prevent gun rust all year long.<\/span> For a safe and adventure-packed hunting adventure, contact the experts at R & K Hunting Company.
