So I should just wipe it down with a mixture of water and baking soda and then wash it off?

Contacted the place that did it and they said to wipe it down once a week or so and keep it oiled and it would stop rusting after a couple of months.

Obviously - its not my gun but

I would do two things -

#1 wipe it down with a baking soda paste ( thick slurry) clean it well, dry it well (hair dryer) and oil it

#2 lose the number of that "gunsmith"
