I need advice pls. I noticed a couple of rust spots on the front of the slide of my Colt Mark IV, Series 70, .45 which is a safe queen in excellent condition (or at least it was!) w/ ivory grips. I only mention the ivory grips 'cause they are part of what makes this gun so nice, the grips and the condition. I keep it oiled down in a gun sock, inside a safe w/ dehumidifiers. So, I try to do everything right! But I must have some moisture in the safe, right? Admittedly, I haven't always been on time recharging the dehumidifiers. They are the Winchester type w/ the crystals that change color. After noticing the rust, I just wiped the gun down w/ some more oil and returned it to the safe. I obviously didn't want to attempt to remove the rust in any way for fear of causing additional damage. What to do? Such a nice gun! Thank you for your help!
