[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3730714, member: 41176"] No vinegar...bad. Use a good gun oil or light machine oil and a copper brush, something like a .45 bore brush or a copper toothbrush, and kinda scrub it and then wipe the oil off. [B][U]Copper removes rust. [/U][/B] Big chunks of rust, you either scrub longer or can use an old penny and scrub it off.
