But once at a gun show and I watched a guy working a rifle over with a pad that looked like one of the old copper pot scrubbers or "chore boy's". The ones that look like a birds nest of coper threads. But, the one he had was silver. I asked him and he swore by it for removing rust and not harming bluing. It was designed, marketed and sold for this very purpose. I found them and bought one. I was impressed!! Now it would not take away pits, but minor rust was gone and the finish was left untouched. Also I have used a couple cold blues for touch up from a holster burn or whatever. The trick is to get all the oil off and apply several coats. I buff with a clean patch between coats. Not perfect but will sure make em look better. Jeff [/QUOTE]
