Hello! had a question about my Glock 17 I’ve had this firearm now for a year and clean it after every time after the range I’ve shot maybe 200 rounds in total through it, but for some reason I just noticed some type of streaks in the barrel that looks like rust, the gun has never been exposed...

I buy guns and store many of them for years without using them, factory new, since usually I buy duplicates; sometimes triplets or even quadruplets. I live in a pretty hot and dry region so I thought they were perfectly safe in their factory cases aince I'd never shot or even cleaned them...

I have had a problem over the last year or so with specks of rust on the slide of my Colt lightweight Commander. Most of the rust has occurred on the side closest to my body. It has been my routine CCW for a few years and I hate not carrying it. I carry it OWB in a Blackhawk leather pancake...

Hey Guys, So I've gained a lot of interest in Gen 2 Glocks after acquiring my first one back in March '18. Since then, I've added 4 more to the collection. My most recent acquisition was a 17 from GunBroker, advertised as being in nearly new condition. After I finally got the gun home, I took it...

My house was flooded during Hurricane Irma and most of my Mini-14 and M1A magazines were submerged for several days. They've developed a pretty substantial coating of surface rust and I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to remove it while preserving as much of the finish as possible. The...
