Light surface rust discovery today

cbxjeff
In looking at my bare AK receivers tonigh I find that a few have a light surface problem. No felt pitting, just a powder that rubs off. I pulled them out of storage because I just bought some Birchwood Casey "RIG" gun grease to use on them. Suggestions on what to use to clean them before I coat and put away again?

Thanks guys,

    KROIL and then use burlap bag to scrub clean.

    Kroil to clean up, then degrease and apply Rem Oil (teflon) to them. Rem Oil works for months upon months on gun surfaces. It is what I use for storage on everything. Just re-apply a few times per year.

    i hate rust! and kroil works good with the burlap treatment-perry shooter is dead on again, as for preservative from an old school drag race engine builder (myself) , i would use marvel mystery oil to coat with.put it on ,leave it alone and forget about it.short term use birchwood casey -sheath. just an opinion and good luck destroying that rust!

    You need to watch the humidity level were your guns are stored. get a gauge and when it gets above 70% increase your inspection and oil wipe down interval. Bianchi makes a blue sealing bag for guns but watch you may seal in a high humidity level depending on the conditions.

    Kroil and follow up after a few moments with a rough clean white flannel. You will see the oxidation on the rag. After it comes clean finish with your favorite gun oil.
