I have been off the field for a few years (joined the air force) and recently found a unit so im back on the field. I only owned enfields so springfields are new to me. When the 1855 came to my door i noticed a little rust starting to form on the barrel, any way to prevent this? I remember seeing springfields back in the day just after one humid night would be a rust bucket. I could wipe it down with oil all the time but i was hoping for something alot easier, maybe a clear coat or something on the barrel?
