The Kid Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 i just bought a gun with a little rust really not a big deal but i like things nice, i was wondering if i can rubb it out some how or if theres any way to take away the rust, i heard something about like steal wool but i'm afraid that would scratch the barrel heres a picture tell me what you guys think. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r224/aqt_footballfreak/Picture1312.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Soak in in some Breakfree CLP. Then Wipe it off good. If it leaves some damage and pitting behind, you may need to reblue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 how much does it cost to reblue it and what is clp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 CLP is an oil, that also works good a breaking down carbon deposits and rust. It stands for Clean Lubricate Protect. As for re-bluing, if it needs doing, you can buy DIY kits for $30 or less, or pay a gun-smith to do it for you. Last time I had a smith do it, it was about $50. Hard to predict what it will cost around your neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksbowhntr77 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 AGREED!!! If it's not bad the Breakfree CLP will be all it takes. I concur... Breakfree is the next best thing since sliced bread... It's a very good cleaner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Just remember to shake up the CLP real good before you use it. It does separate if it sits a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to predict what it will cost around your neck of the woods. If it is not too bad, you can use oxpho blue, which is a cold blue. It works fairly well for spots of light rust, and it is not very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thats the stuff I was thinking off...Don't use it too often, ad I try to keep my guns rust-free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlriggins Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have used with great success Mothers metal polish available at most retailers and auto parts stores I have used it on most of my guns and if the bluing is of any quality the rust will come off and the blue will stay I would however check it in a hidden spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 My old Remington 812 20ga looks like that on a portion of the barrel, I'll have to try that method! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
