Never had weapon that had bluing on it. Any special way to treat it, silicon cloth?

got this new marlin , lubing it and wonder about the blue finish, seem a little new or rough. Any help would be appreciated.

Not any special treatment. Just rub it down with an oily rag after use and a couple times a year if not used.

This and keep them moisture free. I've stripped and reblued a few rifles for friends due to them leaving them in damp basements and garages without oil on them.

This is what Rem Oil is made for.

Also if hunting in fowl weather I like to spray them with silicone. Cover your scope and do it outside though because that stuff is SLICK on the floor of a camp trailer and one could bust their ass. (Don't ask)

My buddy uses rem oil as do i.. but he has very acidic oily skin or something as his model 94 has rust on it where he carries it or touches it.
So what i am saying is....wipe off your oily sweat for sure.

There are a number of things better than Rem Oil for rust prevention. A member here did a pretty thorough test of several of them earlier in the year.
