season patches smear wax on/in the rifle. If you miss one little spot, you are going to rust. Do yourself and your rifle a favor and leave the seasoning to the fry pans.

Scrub the wax out of the bore. This can be done with a boiling water flush. Use solvent and get that rust off. Then use a high quality gun oil and swab the the bore and apply anti seize grease to the threads of the breech plug.
