The sun came out this afternoon, so I took a bucket full of old pistols and went shooting. I just got back and wiped down my peashooters, and noticed rusty oil creeping out from where the top edge of grips slip into the frame recess on my 1920 DWM. I fixed this once with a good cleaning and scraping with hoppes and a popsickle stick. Then coating the groove with RIG. Have not noticed this for a couple of years. I remove the grips every once in a while and wipe the frame with gun oil, and no live rust any where but the top grooves. What can I do to permanently cure this rust problem?

Thanks, Stevie.
