I just bought this but I am curious if I should use oil to keep it from rusting. I have a Maverick 88. Anyone have problems with it rusting?

I would worry about it rusting as much as you worry about your weapon rusting. Treat it the same and you shouldn't have any problems. I've had it for about a year and have had no issues. I would apply loctite or vibratite to the Allen screws as they tend to back out after running some rounds through it.

No rust issues at all here. I did however place a little frog lube between the mating surfaces during installation. I put mine on Pardner Pump, same gun as the Maverick, just a different name.

I have had no problems with rusting, but as any metal exposed to the weather you should treat it as you do your weapon.

They worked fine for me, use blue loctite, $1.49 for a small packet at Autozone. After 20-30 rounds it loosened. No problems since adding the loctite.

Hi KristinWho is this for? I ask because I am 43 and I have 2 kids, 13 and 10. I bought myself a Traxxas Rustler and love it. Then bought 2 more Rusters off eBay with the velineon motors, much faster and last longer. I bought a Traxxas Bandit for my youngest since its the cheapest and doesn't go too fast. I love them all but they do break and have to be repaired. Parts are very cheap and the repairs are fairly simple.

The burner itself will rust. Just looked at mine, it's been outside unused for 2 years. I suppose you could cover it or oil it if you are not going to use it for a while.

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give

Assuming it's protected from rain and wind and GFI protected, why not? If I were to do it, I'd apply a coat of really good polymer automobile wax, depending upon where you live. If it's very humid or salty-air, anything can rust. I've had mine for a year and it works great. Word to the wise...it makes a bit of noise when the compressor runs, which I traced to the removable drip tray, accessible from the back. I finally used a rubber band around the tray which seems to keep it tight and very quiet.

I used crisco to season mine when I first got it. Every now and then I spray it with olive oil. Going to season it again with crisco here in a few days. Haven't seen any sign of rust. How long have you had it?

Mine has been on for over a year and hasn't rusted. It is zing dipped. However i do remove the guide plate after each use. and I do remove the receiver once I have parked the trailer or boat.

Any gun oil or light oil such as 3 in 1 oil will work to keep the rust away. However if it is to be used on or around food, do not use gun oil, mineral oil should be used instead.

Mine hasn't rusted any and I haul kayaks with it after they have been in salt water. It is exposed to the salt air on the FL coast as well. I do wash it after use and it is stored in a shed. If the powder coating gets chipped it will start to rust. It is mild steel and thick, it would take a long long time before it became a structural issue. Touch it up when it gets chipped and it will be fine.

I've had mine for 1.5yrsThis year I left it outside during the winter, its showing signs of surface rust. An easy fix. I plan to sand it down and spray it with Heat Resistant paint. I am happy with it.

Given the environment that it lives, oil should prevent any rust issues from occurring on the valve lever as the body is brass. I've never had a problem with corrosion or any issue at all.

If you clean the unit after you use it it should be fine. What I occassionally do is spray a bit of cooking spray (like Pam) onto the moving shaft, this light coating of oil will inhibit any rust and keep the action moving smooth as silk. I have 2 of these now, no problmes & no issues....it's all good.

There's no reason to remove it. If you feel you must then go ahead with any technique already mentioned. You'll find however, the coating also hides the tooling marks. To remove this you will need to spend a few hours sanding and polishing. You'll then need to keep it oiled. There are different thoughts on this so I will refer you to YouTube to make your own decision on how to finish it out. The coating on mine has lasted a couple years of use and no rust issues

Rust will happen whatever you do, this unit is carbon steel, which means it will rust! Initially the coating provided at the factory will either wear off or burn off. You will have to re-coat it with a high temperature paint or let it rust, that's the way it is with this material. This unit is very well made even though it's steel. Keep up the maintenance and it will last for years.v/rRobert

I see people posting pictures of this knife rusted... THIS IS A HIGH CARBON STEEL this means that without proper oiling it will rust very easily. This knife if used daily should be cleaned weekly and oiled. If you get it wet it needs to be thoroughly dried and oiled.

I don't think it's going to rust if it only contains oil. Many olive oils are sold in cans and they do not rust.

Mine was too man. However it works perfect. I know I was thinking someone used and returned it. Not the case to. That oil stinks right. The reason is they put oil in it test it then drain but during shipping it gets upside down. Don't worry just put on level surface and add oil
