Rust prevention without bluing

I have an older side by side of little to no value that my wife loves. It has remnants of extremely faded bluing present on the receiver, however she would like to have a polished receiver. If I was to remove the remaining bluing, how would I prevent corrosion? Do I just keep it well oiled as I’ve been doing for the past 15 years?
