What is the primary cause!!!Ammo or lack of care? I often see it noticed on the end of the barrel! Is that where it appears or where its most noticed?

Poor storage, lack of care, neglect, not enough oil, etc., etc.,

Norme you nailed it;, these euphemisms are funny though, like just recently here somebody called it: "nice age patina" ... unfortunately on guns rust never sleeps

It is interesting that the finish on early Lugers is/was rust bluing.
