Rusty Barrel
A have a new Browning 525. Only a few months old. I keep it oiled when not in use. When I wipe the barrel over with a clean cloth I get red rust marks on the cloth. There are no normal visible signs of rust on the barrel. This is like a fine dust. I took it back to the shop and they say it is allright/normal?. They say it is the blueing. Well I think that is ~rap. I have two other older shotgins and a couple of rifles but none of those have rust coming off the barrel.
Any ideas out there? I am contacting Browning direct but would like some local info if you guys know anything or have any ideas.
