[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 4129970, member: 34578"] If you can, remove any plastic parts and simply boil the barrel and action in plain water for about 45 minutes. Once it cools, simply buff (don't scrub over aggressively) with some plain 0000 steel wool. Repeat as required. May take just 1 or possibly several cycles depending on the severity of the rust. The boiling converts red oxide (rust) to black oxide (bluing). Once done, you will need to reapply oil to it all and let it soak for a few minutes before wiping off the excess. The boiling will remove most of the oil from the metal. A piece of gutter capped at both ends and a propane turkey fryer make a good impromptu boiling trough. [/QUOTE]
