Interesting. I had my Model 1895 .45-70 with me on a two week hunt in coastal southeast Alaska, living in a wall tent. It rained every single day. We were less than a mile from the ocean, is heavy "salt air". Standard Model 1895, blued, wood stock. Not a spec of rust on it the whole time. Or in the 30 years since.
