I suspect what you're seeing isn't rust, but the oil Ruger ships their guns packed in. That stuff will seap out for a long time unless you used something like Gunscrubber or brake cleaner. CLP's and other oils just dilute it and let it weap out more.

(If you use "Gunscrubber" on a 22/45 make sure it's the "ploymer safe" version. I wouldn't use brake cleaner at all.)
