haha probably. however I think the average gun owner doesnt use the oil/heat method on their guns and it really does them a disservice unless they want to look after them more often. plus I think failing to give attention to the inside of the mag tube can lead to some troubles later. my guns just FEEL better with a smooth tube. Yes, the ordeal's a hassle, but it keeps even my blued guns pretty attention-free in some pretty bad conditions for at least a couple weeks at a time. a terribly humid climate like FL, LA, other coastal states may need a little extra protection in the form of a silicone treated gun sock or an airtight storage bag with some desiccant inside, but beyond the general method there isn't a whole you can do besides have your gun finished in some ultra high tech super duper setup like Robar NP3.

there's been a few threads here and over there on how to keep a shotgun rust free and or general maintenance, so I thought it could go up. thanks for the input, as always.
