hi everyone. I have a new Beretta 686 .410 and have been using it daily for the last 2 months. ive been cleaning it weekly with boresnake and wiping the action and adding a little tetra gun grease to pivot points in the action and smoothing a thin layer in the contact point area. I’ve also been wiping down the barrel with eezox to keep a layer of oil on the metal.

This rust is developing and I don’t know why. What should I be doing to prevent it? Will a brass brush and CLP remove it?

DIYer here. Electrical contractor pulled all CAT6, I need to terminate it in the rack. Bundle of 20 cables is coming from above, do I take it straight down into the rack or do I keep the slack and bring it up from below the rack? What’s the agreed way?

Blue tape is where a single gang 15A outlet goes.

Second question- it seems like the terminations are always in the top of the rack when I see photos. Is that the typical way? If it comes in from the bottom should it be different?

I just want this to look as professional as possible. Unfortunately the cable was pulled after the plywood went up otherwise coming right out of the wall would be best.

Ignore the brown wires - that is HVAC control.
