Is there a coating that can be applied to blued barrels / actions that makes them more rustproof?




How about good 'ole BLO?

Got to go with D. I've used Johnson's for years. Take it out of the stock before huntin' season starts, put a couple of good coats on it and you should be set for the season. Now after huntin' seasons over, you need to take back out and clean again. You take care of it and it will take care of you.

kbob, maybe this is off the point, but I thought perhaps you were wondering about a more permanent coating that gave rust protection?? If so I have had a rifle serrocoated and one 'tefloned' (an HS precision from the factory). I have a hunting buddy that had his M-70 Film dipped. All of these have proven to give excellent resistance to weather etc. None of these 3 rifles have a bit of rust on them and they have been in some serious weather. At any rate, the serrocoating and teflon coating were in the 250-300 buck zone, the film dip my friend had ran 150. Maybe not what you were thinking, but just another idea. Others here might be able to give some insight as to current vendors for these processes.

If you are going to Alaska, I would remove the action, clean it, and spray a clear coating on it. Do this a month or two beforehand so you can re sight in, etc but you will have a durable finish for your trip, and just remove it when you get back.

If I were going hunting in a very wet climate I would do two things. First remove the stock and give all of the metal a coating of vaseline then heat it with a propane torch or heat gun and wipe it down. (A rust preventative measure found in R.H. Angiers blueing book.) Second, I would wipe it down daily with brownells water displacing oil.
