Thank god for google I neglected my shotgun and hasn't cleaned it since may it was rushed pretty good so I did a google search on what was the best way to clean rust off and the most common answer I could get was a fine pad of steel wool and gun oil u take ur gun oil soak the wool as a lubricant so u don't take the finish off and gently rub ur rusted parts until the rust is off then wipe clean repeat as nesscary until clean then clean an oil as u normally would . So that's what I did worked perfect looks as smooth as the day I got it . I thought I would share so others can break out those old guns and make en look purty with out breaking the bank
