Alright, I may have messed up already . . . but hopefully I can learn a lesson from you folks.
So I just returned from a hunt with my new ruger guide gun with a detachable muzzle brake. We had some rain and were doing quite a lot of bushwhacking so I did like my Dad did and wrapped some tape around the muzzle to keep the chamber/bore free from water and debris. Well, back at home now and I've noticed some surface rust on the muzzle that was covered by the tape adhesive. The metal is matte stainless.
I did a google search and don't see any other complaints about this happening to other folks, so it must have been a mistake to use the tape or something else I did or didn't do.
What's the best way to remove the surface rust and what should I do to prevent this from happening in the future? And what's really the best way to prevent debris and water entering the bore in the field?
Thanks!
