Where can a fellow buy him some "flitz"???????
After hunting in the rain this weekend it looks like I used my rifle as a boat paddle
Same situation as you, I got rust spots that won't come off now 😡

flits is a brass polish.. i bought it at a music store like sam ash, or guitar center.. anywhere where they sell brsss instruments..

Ace hardware has it.. But the one i used looks like a toothpaste tube and it silver with blue writing on it and the actual paste is light blue..

This might be the same thing.. not sure tho..

Yeah I got in and wanted to kick my own a$$. I hunted in the rain the whole weekend. Instead of wiping the gun down each time I just threw it in the front seat of the truck. Yesterday afternoon we got caught in a bad storm up there. I was even getting soaked sitting in a box stand.
When I went to put the gun away I bout cried. So I cleaned it really well and left a good coating of oil on it. Ill deal with it some more tomorrow. Even the inside of the barrel had surface rust on it from rain running down the barrel
