My nephew inherited a Remington 121 pump 22 from his uncle who is now in a nursing home. The gun is in fairly good shape, given that it's been stuffed in the back of closet unused for decades. It has light rust on the visible metal parts and the action works OK. I haven't seen the rifle myself but have photos. I suggested they give it to my gunsmith who could disassemble it, clean it inside and out, and give it a clean bill of health for $70. To me that's a bargain and would ensure a safe gun. What are your thoughts?
Also, what's the best way to clean that light rust off the barrel and receiver?
