[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2344208, member: 116439"] That's a little more than surface rust, it is pitting. If it was me I would try some chemical rust remover and try to keep just on the rust. Don't make the area bigger than needed. Then use a 600, 800, 1,000 grit emory along with 0000 steel wool. Then clean/degrease. Use this Bluing pen. Every coat you do will make it darker so you can control it. When you get to where you want then take 0000 steel wool and "Blend" it in to the original bluing. I found that this works for small areas to fix bluing. I have done many rifles and pistols with minor rust/wear and you can't tell the fixes. I would also use a bore scope to check the inside of the barrel at you muzzel. You may have rust/pitting inside.
