    Winchester SX4 Rust issue??

    Have a 1.5 year old SX4. Used it 2 times year 1 and alot this year. The barrel bluing is horrible. It turns to rust in seconds outside, while the receiver is perfect. I plan to call them this morning just wondering if anyone has delt with this in the past?

    Can you post any pics? there may be a different barrel available that would be less prone to rust. Some guns just do this unfortunately.

    I have a Remington Peerless from the 90's that will rust if I look at it the wrong way. I also have a cheap Stoeger P350 that I use when stalking deer. Receiver I think is parkerized and no issues, but the barrel is a cheap, sleeved deal painted flat black and will rust if I'm not careful.

    Well....they told me to ship the entire gun back to them....why when its only the barrel im not sure and it would be 12 weeks. I am going to go a different direction and have a local shop Cerakote the barrel and receiver for 150.00. Drop it off next Tuesday and get it back Thursday. By the time I pay shipping back to Winchester its only a few bucks more.
