I've heard folks say you are a slob if your gun rusts...
I've had clients.... that take ALL of your waking hours. A man has to have a bit of sleep. Add saltwater...
Well hell in the end its just a tool to me. There are more where this one came from if need be.
Personally I've never worried that much about exteriro. Long as the guts work and stay clean the inside of the tube is rust free, and as noted, guts IE trigger, action and all work, the rest can and will get beat up if used enough instead of nursed.
But we all know I"m different. Hell I still try to wash both of my vehicles 1-2 times a year if they need it or not.
