Actually I was refering to these things. I saw Canadian Tire is stocking the Remington brand, but there are others out there too. I know Browning marketed them under their name, as well as some of the gun maintanence brands.

Funny thing is,I don't see people hanging their clothes on the line at -35.
If you do,the clothing will freeze and then very slowly the moisture will evaporate.I would rather use a dryer than wait for that to happen,especially since we don't have any wind at -35 where I live.
Oh sweet #%*@. I knew this would happen. Water does not melt at -35C at standard atmospheric pressure. Its called SUBLIMATION. p.s. I hang my clothes out year round. Dryers are for people who do not understand science or don't have an extra few pairs of socks and underwear.
I was also getting sick and tired of always having to deal with rust so I either sold off or gave my son all of my blued guns and I now only own s/s black/gray laminate rifles and handguns.
I have synthetic stocks for some of them as well the only blued guns I have now are a couple Rem 870 & SXS 12 gauge shotguns and an 18.5" T/C Contender carbine barrel in 10mm.

In the case of hanging clothes there is no heat source,so your explanation is correct.I don't hang clothes on the line at -35.and neither does anyone else that I know,so I have no first hand experience with this.
However,in the case of the example of a vehicle,there is a source of heat under the hood that changes the situation.If I start my vehicle and drive downtown and back,the hood will be clear of ice and frost before the trunk lid,why is that?If sublimation was the only explanation,both should clear at the same rate.
Put a block of ice on the stove... it will melt where the heat is added, not the opposite side. Regardless of that, ice doesn't melt in subzero temperatures PERIOD... (unless you drop the pressure below atmospheric of course) Perhaps I should have used the 'vanishing/shrinking' ice cube in the freezer' example. Correction, I should've never mentioned it at all. My error indeed.
Ha ha... yup. But adding salt to the equation really isn't what this about... Could we get MBP's thread more off topic? Perhaps a comment regarding the importance of wiping salty hand prints off the gun before storage to help prevent rusting by eliminating a catylist might help. No, probably not this late in the game.
Adding salt to water/ice makes it salt water. Which has different melting/freezing characterics Ya, we get it. Agitating a fluid can also change these things... the list goes on. I was talkin straight up H2O. Not CaCl contaminated. As such, I stand by what I said.

Rust will always be a problem in any small area that is not ventilated. I run a de-humidifier in my gun room, but it runs very little in winter.
That is not what you posted.You posted ICE,you didn't specify ice made from pure water or from distilled water or any other type of water.
That dammed salt gets tracked into my house onto my doormats,and from there many places into my house.I would likely find traces in my gun room.Almost is bad at promoting rust is blackpowder.Even my stainless blackpowder guns had a few rustspots on them despite using rust preventatives.
I find that the most important factor in preventing rusty guns is to make sure that they are absolutely dry and at room temperature before storing them.If I am hunting in rain,I wipe them down and dry them on low heat with a hair dryer.
G96 has stopped all my problems with rust. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go. If you have, I'm out of suggestions as I haven't had to do anything further .
I agree, in the days before I was using G96 I sometimes wished I had sprung for the stainless off the bat instead of going with blued, but now that's only because I prefer the look.
I really want a .357 lever, but I want it in laminate and stainless, and as of yet, I haven't seen Marlin build anything along those lines.
