Guys always talk about 000 steel wool for taking off rust on a gun. Even with plenty of lubrication there's a chance of scratching something or going too far. Why not just use bronze wool instead? It costs a bit more but there's no risk of damaging steel with it as it's much softer than the metal but much harder than any rust.
