[QUOTE="cheechin, post: 1487858, member: 106286"] One of the few that won't further degrade the bluing is this one: Buy a can of Kroil. Liberally apply a coat of Kroil to the rusty areas and allow to soak at least 24 hours. While it soaks, make a scraper from sheet brass, or by squashing a brass rifle case mouth closed and filing it into a sharp chisel shape. Also buy a brass "toothbrush". After soaking, apply more Kroil and use the brass scraper to scrap the crusty rust. Then give the entire area a brushing with the brass brush. After the rust is removed, wipe clean and apply a coat of CLP Breakfree. The CLP will prevent further rust, and will continue to "work" on any hidden rust. Unlike steel wool or other methods, this doesn't damage the remaining blue. After the rust is gone there will still be tiny pits and missing blue, and there's nothing that can be done about that except a full refinish. [/QUOTE]
