I have a couple of rifles and shotguns that I recently had given to me. They were in safe that had been in a flood. They forgot to clean the safe out. So now, the guns all have surface rust on them and most of them are stuck - as in the semi auto shotguns cannot be checked or cleared, the over under shotgun cannot be opened, the pump action gun will cycle but the trigger does not move, etc.
I believe that for the most part these guns can be made serviceable again since the rust I have found is not very deep but of course I need to open them up and go from there.
What do I use to free the guns? Obviously the guns are not in pristine condition but I would prefer not do to any extra damage if possible. Is some sort of penetrating oil going to be my best bet?
