GrumpyOne Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'm getting quite tired of this. I work out of the country a lot, and almost everytime I come home, my CZ mags have surface rust on them. I've tried silicone spray, oils, keeping them in a Ziploc baggy, nothing seems to work. They will rust in one day.... I've thought about sending them off to get them atranite coated, or some other coating, but I don't want to get them back and have nothing but paper weights..... So, what do you guys use or do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Maybe a small humidor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors) products can be your best friend in your fight against corrosion in Florida. If you google VCI bags or chips or wrap you'll get a bunch of hits. McMaster Carr has good prices on bag: http://www.mcmaster.com/#vci-%28volatile-corrosion-inhibitor%29-bags/=jeiaew Or you could go the chip route, they also work great in an enclosed area like a safe. The fishing and boat guys like products like this: http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/The_Inhibitor_VCI_Pro_Chips_20_pack/descpage-IVCIPC.html Good Luck!

Jonathan Taliani Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I have been very pleased with Eezox. I have yet to have anything rust since I switched to it several years back. I also swear by Sack-ups when in storage. They are silicon impregnated moisture wicking socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extremo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Same with Rescomp tubes. Was told that car wax could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lugnut Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Mine do the same thing.. and BAD. Mecgars are MUCH better fyi. For my CZs... I use wipe them off with a light oil now and then. The rust doesn't seem to slow them down during mag changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 I wish someone would make some stainless mags for the SP01..... I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1SOW Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I have 6, my son has 4, both stock and Mec-Gars., Zero rust Don't like oils in mags. Do like slippery inside and outside.. Meguiars Gold premium car polish does both and lasts. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerlrrp Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I wipe mine with a light coat of CLP when in storage. They are stored indoors as well. Never had an issue, but it's also not as humid 3 states north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinSC Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 If I don't do anything, mine will rust the day after being used in a match. All I do is wipe them down with a silicon cloth and put them in the safe with the gun. They don't rust if I do that. Sorry Grumpy, I know you said you tried that, but I don't have any issues as long as I do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hard Chrome. I have some 12 year old tubes that still look and work great. I tend to shoot where it is dry, but I live very close to the Pacific and have never had even a hint of rust. Some of the other CVD or PVD coatings should work also, but I know hard chrome holds up!

Sorry Grumpy, I know you said you tried that, but I don't have any issues as long as I do that. It doesn't help that I literally live in the middle of a swamp. I was just trying to mow the yard and my lawnmower bogged down and got stuck in the side of the yard. I won't even try the back yard, with all the rain we've been getting.

Lee G Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Black T Expand on that? http://www.black-t.com/ Just give them a call and ask to speak to Wally. Phone: 601 939-7448 Their prices have always been flexible. You can send them your tubes to be coated and you will never have rust again. I have them coat all of my firearms. Even in Mississippi where humidity in the summer stays around 90% I have never had rust. I sweat all over my carry guns and just wipe them off with a towel. I use dawn and water to clean everything but the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
