[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1908193, member: 93138"] The 300 series of SST alloys are pretty good at resisting corrosion. Quality firearms aren't made from the 300's because they gall far too rapidly. Remember the bad name SST had in the early days of SST firearms? That was because they were made from 300 series alloys, and they galled badly to prove it. The SST alloys that quality firearms are made today from can rust. Leave some blood on it for a couple months and watch what happens. Leave it out in a salty fog for a while and watch what happens. Please don't. That said, with normal care they shouldn't rust, but you can not treat them as "rust-proof". [/QUOTE]
