I know I'm going to make myself look stupid here, but how, exactly does one go about cleaning rust from a blued finish without taking off the bluing?
My father passed on to me a sporterized Mauser '95 chambered in .30-'06. The last ten years of his life were basically wasted (don't want to go into details about that), and he totally neglected his gun collection. Thankfully his pistol (Ruger Mk II) was stainless, but the poor rifle did not have that advantage. The only rust is on the barrel and parts of the receiver. The rifle functions flawlessly and still drives tacks. I took my first deer with it when I was 15, so it kind of has some sentimental value.
