I would recommend Ballistol and XXXX fine steel wool with the oil socked into the wool. It will only remove light surface rust. The Ballistol will get into the porous metal and remove rust and protect the steel from future rust. Thanks

Frontier 45 pads are great and will not hurt bluing or case colors. You can find them online from a number of sites and at some gun shows.

Frontier 45 pads are it - XXXX steel wool with oil or Hoppe's will leave light areas where you rubbed out rust on bluing. F 45 pads are made like weaving 'Slinkys" into a pad. Each outer edge of the strand is sharpened like a razor blade and cuts rust & surface corrosion off the surface of the metal. They do wear down and should be replaced periodically.

Frontier pads yes... However, i have never had an issue using 0000 steel wool with G96 on blued surfaces. I have taken several barrel sets with light surface freckling, but good bluing , and had them end up looking excellent that way.

Thanx guys - I have ordered the Frontier pads, and I will try that with either Ballistol or G96. BTW, I bought a fantastic 16 Ga Winchester Model 21 at the Baltimore show. It is a Trap grade Skeet Gun with 28" Barrels and is exactly as lettered from 1937, all original and in great shape. There was just a little surface rust on the top tang by the Safety Slide Switch. I got some of it off today with the Ballistol and a cotton patch. I suspect I will get it all with the Frontier pad. Thanx for your help, Billy

Using the Frontier pad with oil would be safest.
If you have Sperm Oil, dab some on the rust with a fingertip, allowing it to soak into the rust (I've let it set for a week or so) can liquefy it so you don't have to scrub as hard with the Frontier pad. The whale oil doesn't adversely effect the blue. |

I use the 45 pads followed by a soft terry cloth and Turtle Wax Chrome polish and rust remover. I have done dozens of barrels with no ill effects and great results. Really takes care of the rust. I follow with a good oil, and rub down. Try it under the forend portion of the barrel first and check your results. I really like how the Turtle Wax takes care of the top rib matting area.
