rust on the barrell
rust on the barrell
I have some rust on the barrell of my shotgun. you can't see it unless you put a light on it. some one told me vasaline would take it off but im worried it may damage it or remove the bluing. I read here https://rustconverters.net/ goob advices but what can anyone tell me if this would work or what else to use. thanks.

Re: rust on the barrell
Use Flitz.
It takes the light rust right off without damaging the blueing.

Some ancient 'gunsmith kinks' that I have personally used
on old 1943 Sears 12 gauge bolt action given by uncle:
Vinegar patch. Soak a bandage with table vinegar and wrap
spot. In a day rust 'peeled off'. If you have a darkroom dilute
10cc Glacial Acetic Acid in 500cc H20.
A gun patch with Birchwood Casey Perma Blue Liquid Gun Blue
on spot to match color with Q-tip to match shade.
Oil to finish.
Wiser and more experienced gray-beards here like the
good Captain are to be listened to FIRST.
