Default Rust prevention in a salt marsh

My Vinci is a year old and is gettin ruined. I oil it after every hunt but it still get rust and corrosion all the way down the barrel and chamber. I hunt the reserve so it has to be put in a case and I think that's the main problem. I drenched the inside of my case with oil, maybe this will help. Anyone else have any helpful tips.

If it is black, I highly suggest you send it off and have it Black-T'd. Cost $200 and the gun will be indestructible. The labs stopped testing it cuz it went through thousands of hours of high pressure saltwater testing and finally they just stopped trying to make it rust. Also the coating is so slick that nothing will stick to it can literally wipe the parts with a dry paper towel and the gun will be cleaner than if you sat there scrubbing on it for an hour with normal gun cleaning products

I had my fiancé's gun done and after 4 boxes of trashy shells I wiped all the parts off with a papertowel and it wasn't as dirty as wiping the top of ceiling fan blades. I couldn't be more satisfied. Well worth the money

Oh and they also now offer some camo type patterns. Not mainstream but kind of a hand drawn kind of camo

The same thing as the outside. Protects it. Department of defense sends their guns to have it done

You never even have to oil the gun. Nothing sticks to it. Including the oil. Can lube it all up and then wipe it dry with no residue of it ever being there. The coating is all the lubricant the parts need

Default choke

what about barrels with screw in choke tubes, putting a coating on them would change them and not work the same? how does that work

Camo dipping isn't going to prevent rust

Me and him both have the same gun. Mine is camo and his is black. I have zero rust on mine and we hunt together in the same marsh.

Don't get me wrong, it definitely helps. But to make it zero maintenance and not rust, camo dipping it isn't gonna do that

There are several places. I will look into it deeper when I decided to do it. But like I said, it won't be until after the season.
