[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1929730, member: 93138"] For what it's worth, if the copper Brillo pad isn't easily available I have used the edge of pure copper coins to remove rust from blued steel. Soak in a penetrating type oil first. Then gently scrape with the edge of the coin. IF there are pits, which I doubt in this case, the bluing is already gone under the rust and the steel will be white/bare there once the rust is gone. Light surface rust usually comes off w/o removing the bluing. Not sure what penetrating oil is going to be available to you in Nambia. Automatic Trans Fluid (ATF), mixed 50%-50% with acetone may work for you if there's nothing else available. If you have a selection the Kroil mentioned is good. So is "PB Blaster". Even "Marvel Mystery Oil" will work for this (some claim that this oil is pretty close to being 50-50 ATF & acetone). [/QUOTE]
