Sup guys, as the title says i'm a brand new gun owner here and this CZ is in fact my very first gun, however i have a question...

How quick can rust form on a guns barrel?
specifically a gun that has a non chrome lined barrel?

cause i haven't had my gun for more then a month and a half, and not a single round has gone through it yet, but already it seems to be forming rust inside the barrel. Does anybody know the best way to clean a rusty barrel? or did i already screw up my first gun? :redface::(

Also, what would be the best way to prevent this from happening again?

help would be much appreciated :)
 
did you buy it new or used? you should keep the bore oiled a bit...if you shoot corrosive ammo through it you should clean the bore and gas system with windex or soapy hot water and then oil it with a patch .. if you cant clean it cause your in the field camping ect. keep a can of WD-40 to spray down the barrel at the end of the day.. to clean rust out of the bore use hoppes 9 solvent and a brass bore brush

That will be awesome when all the Czech crap sticks to the oil in the barrel:kickInTheNuts:

... Oil is generally a lubricant, not an adhesive.

The sig sauer armors manual suggests lightly brushing quality grease down the bore of my p226... so thin gun oil isn't going to be a problem.

Any non lined barrel will rust. Rust will form more quickly if the gun has shot corrosive ammo. Salts left over from the burning of the primer and powder attract moisture (hygroscopic) and speed oxidation.

Chrome barrels are more resistant to oxidation due to the nature of the coating and it's ability to smooth the interior surface and remove opportunities for salts and moisture to access the steel in the barrel and start oxidizing.

Without the chrome lining, the steel is directly exposed to the oxidation created by the salts and will rust if those salts and moisture are not removed.

The discussion on the impact oxidation has on non lined barrels rages on. I can only speak from experience, in that I have left my VZ sitting in a humidity controlled safe for 3 full months after a range day of approximately 500 rounds and have pulled out a large quantity of rust when I finally cleaned it.

I can see no appreciable change either way in the accuracy of my rifle. Considering the ammunition I shoot, the ranges I shoot, and the tolerances of the guns design, I may not be able to notice any degradation.

As noted before in the thread. After cleaning, apply a coat of oil to coat the bore and chamber and prevent any opportunity for oxidation. If the gun is going to be stored long term, this process must be repeated regularly, or protected in some other fashion. (This is why many milsurp rifles are stored in cosmoline and plastic.)

Non lined barrels will rust without shooting corrosive ammo if the bore is not protected. Having a dehumidifier or moisture control system in your safe will also help.
