Beautiful 25-30,SS, DST 1929 Ketner, Shul Germany
rust pops out in gun safe. Rifle suffering on TX coast.
When I rub rust with Oil rag blue thins out . Gift for granddaughter. Teflon finish,deep blue,  will stop problem.
Concern as to collector value ? Depleting ambiance.
Sad

Refinish usually kills collectability. Golden rods work. I would not refinish any collectable gun.

I live on the Gulf Coast below Houston and I have been using a product called Rustpruffe for 50 years and never yet had a rifle or pistol develop rust. Give it a try it only costs about 6 dollars to try it.

Firearms need to be stored in safes at 70 degrees and 55% humidity.

I have a shop rag coated with Eezox.  Any firearm that comes out and back into the safe is wiped down with the shop rag.

Coat your rifle with Teflon?  Never!

Second vote on Rustprufe. Effective and inexpensive. I use it on firearms and precision tools.

Can't say I would never refinish any collectable gun, as some are either too far gone, or too Bubba'd to not refinish. But when I have refinished them, I do everything I can to duplicate the original finish. I would not Teflon coat any old gun.
