My advice would be to first scrub it in warm soapy water. I don't think they give them a good enough bath to remove all the bluing salts from the rough finish. Oil is not a solvent for bluing salts. Residual bluing salts will rust in a New York minute. Then dry it good, remove any rust spots with a little WD-40 and steel wool - gently here - and then re oil well with RemOil, Breakfree, G-96, or WD-40 and see how that does.
