2 weeks ago I bought a new Para-Ordinance 14-45 Ltd in stainless steel and it is starting to get rust and pitting on all the exposed parts of the gun, even on the polished sides of the slide. It looks like a teenager with pimples. I keep it in a safe with 2 other handguns that are blued and several other long guns. None of my other guns are showing any signs of rust.
Has anyone else had this type of problem? Any ideas on what could be tried to fix this? I have tried cleaning and oiling the gun but the rust seems to be stuck good. I used CLR on it and cleared some of the rust away, had to use lots of elbow grease, but the pitting is perminant. I know I will have to send it back to Para but I am going to keep shooting it till the snow starts and I do not want it to get any worse. AT present I am heavliy coating (drowning) it in gun oil before putting it in the safe. ANY suggestions would be greatly appeciated.
Thanks,
