I would say no. A friend of mine had a saltwood .375 H&H Safari grade rifle & completely epoxy bedded the action & bbl in an attempt to stop the rusting w/o success. He ended up restocking it in a fiberglass stock.

I really don't understand why a full epoxy bedding job didn't work but in this case it didn't help stop the rusting.
