[QUOTE="gaseous maximus, post: 2058580, member: 13886"] Ortho is good. but it is a brownell trade name, and I've heard that there is now a hazmat charge on it, don't know if this is true or not. Personally I prefer G96, which is sold by bass pro, to other locally available formulas. I don't like perma blue or super perma blue at all. IMO 44-40 isn't much better. Have an old rem 512, which I reblued using G96 (with their instructions), 35-40 years ago and it still looks pretty good. If the rust is not deep and visibly pitted, I have had success by, pouring a little blue in a container and dipping a small piece of very fine steel wool in it, and rubbing the heck out of the gun keeping it wet, except for wiping it off occasionally with a paper towel. After I decided I've done about all the good I can, I set it aside to dry, after which, time, I steel wool it with fresh dry steel wool, and reapply the formula this time with a cotton ball, dipped and squeezed pretty dry. let it dry completely and repeat the process several times, steel wooling after drying each time. Finally after the last steel wooling I neutralize the thing with a wet cloth dipped in water, rub it dry, let it air dry completely, and if your happy with the way it looks, spray the heck out of it with some thing like super lube or tri- flow. If you are determined to strip of the old blue completely, Send me an email and I will try to find a method published in American Rifleman, years ago , that really worked well. [/QUOTE]
