end result: a perfectly new spoon completely rusted and I MEAN BAD! and that was 10 days! had to get it re-parkered and sold it and that was the beginning of my QUEST to buy all stainless or a mfg. like HK that has HE coating(hostile environment) already on it.

At the end of each day after getting into your cabin or tent, a good wipe down with an oiled cloth would have prevented the piece from rusting. Remember, even stainless steel will corrode if ignored long enough. The problem was not the material the pistol was made of or it's finish.
