I recently picked up a nice old 870 Wingmaster that's in pretty good shape except for some very light rust freckling and a couple of medium depth scratches on the receiver. I'm trying to gussy it up a bit and give it to my nephew as a gift.
I've heard that steel wool and CLP will often work wonders on the rust freckling but I'm stumped on the scratches. I'm probably going to have to work the bluing down to the surface of the metal. I keep a bottle of Oxpho Cold Bluing handy and I swear by it, but I wonder whether it will work in this instance? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
