Super Nova Rust Issue after Ocean Hunt

[WaterfowlMD]

(See end for main question)

As I was having the amazing experience of curtain box waterfowl hunting, I was simultaneously watching the rain and ocean add an orange film to my barrel right before my eyes.

After the hunt, and before leaving the dock, I field stripped it and wiped down all surfaces dry. I then applied a layer of hoope gun oil and laid it in the back seat to keep it out of the humidity. When I got home I again tried cleaning it with the oil, a tooth brush, and a rag. I then left it with a coat of oil overnight .

For context I am extremely diligent about cleaning my gun after each hunt (brand new as of October). After each hunt I wipe down the firearm and then after it dries, I apply a layer of hoope gun oil with an rag.

**The issue is*** there are still streaks of rust that I can't get off and I have no idea what else to do?? I want to get the rust off and make sure I protect it properly. And suggestions???? (edited picture attached for visual) IMG_2111.pdf

Thanks in advance!

I lived on the coast in FL and never had any issues like that. 1st thing I’d do is change the oil you use because it’s not working unless you used your gun as an anchor something. It looks like you have bare metal showing?
