Rust Removal

All of the methods mentioned will cause damage to the original finish either by mechanical or chemical means.
Soak the offending part in some ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for a couple of days. Buff the area lightly with some denim soaked in ATF, turning the rag frequently. Keep working it and it will remove the majority without subjecting the original finish to harsh abrasives. Typically you will end up with a dark spot where the rust was but that is better than a dark spot with the surrounding area being polished/scuffed too much.

Thats pretty good advice, just use gloves because some of the stuff in ATF is pretty bad for humans.

I have a gun that was a complete rusty mess. Pitted, nasty thing. Here's the before and after pics...



My solution was simple. Get in the car, drive up to BPTactical's place, drop it off, pick it up a week later.
