This thread is making my OCD act up. I will have to go break down all my ARs and meticulously clean and oil every nook and cranny.
For those suggesting WD40, check out Corrosion X. It is worlds better than WD40, which in my opinion sucks.
I was mostly kidding, but my wifes constantly left out to rust half a mile from the ocean garden tools say WD still does the deed... lol
Soak the rifle in a tube of boiling Frog Lube for a couple of hours.
In all seriousness, keep the AR well lubed. Parkerizing is porous and is made to soak up and hold oil to combat corrosion
I have taken my DDM4 hunting in the rain. What rusted:
Bolt release
Bolts holding the rail in place
End Plate (Noveske) where it was staked only
Edge of Cam Pin (QPQ'ed, Fathom Arms)
Hwoever, I shot a ton of Wolf through it suppressed, and what rusted was...
Carrier
FP retaining pin
Bolt release
Barrel extension where it abutts the carrier
Firing pin (corroded through the chrome)
Maybe some other odds/ends
Basically, I think Wolf Polyformance is slightly corrosive...
