Fix my gun Oil it or needs re-blueing?
Bought an heirloom shotgun and it’s been fine for a few years, this summer was brutally humid in my house and I took it out for a 6 month checkup/dusting and noticed pitting and rust on the barrel.
Would a re-oiling and dehumidifier fix this or should I get the barrel re-blued ?
(Using 3 in 1 Oil rather than a gun specific oil - should I use something else?)

Oil won’t fix, but it will help protect going forward. A dehumidifier will also help. Ideal situation is both.
