I would use a nickle or solid copper wheat penny on edge to remove any heavy rust or pitting, follow with fine bronze wool from brownells. Do not use steel wool this will remove the blue from any area you use it on. Work slowly and use light pressure and lots of oil. When using a coin watch very close not to scratch the area being cleaned. Start in the center of the spot, use light pressure and work out to the edge. Wipe spot and look for any scratches from the coin. There should not be any. Most of this will come off and only leave blemish were the worst rust was. Keep the barrels oiled and the spots will not get any worse. You will have to live with that or have them cold rust blued by a pro. I have had very good luck with this method. I have a 20ga. that has seen lots of use and the blue is thinning at the forend. At some point they will get properly rust blued. Will send the gun to Brad and have the full redo, then you have to look very close to see its not a original Parker...(-: SXS ohio....
