[QUOTE="gaseous maximus, post: 1670940, member: 13886"] I have had a lot of success on older guns, which are not really worth a complete polish and reblue, and no worse than lightly rusted, with the following.1. Get some cold blue and really fine steel wool. 2. Pour some of the blue in a small plastic or glass container. 3. Dip a piece of steel wool in the blue and rub the heck out of the gun, the blue will turn really nasty as it removes the rust. 4. when it feels and appears that the surface has been pretty well cleaned, put it a side and let it dry. 5. using a clean dry piece of steel wool, card off the rust that has formed, and with a small piece of cloth, or cotton ball, lightly reapply the bluing solution, and let dry. 6. repeat step 5, until you are satisfied with the appearance. 7. neutralize with water, dry, and oil.
