  YOU CAN'T HURT THE VALUE OF A "77" MODEL 94.
  
  I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.

  Hello gun_runner...
  
  What you have is active rust... never a good thing to leave untouched (even if it were a truly collectable Winnie), as it will never turn into "patina"... it will just continue to rust and eventually cause pitting. The recommendation by TRAP55 is a good one... Hoppes gun oil (not solvent) and 0000 steel wool. Be sure to wipe it down real good after using the steel wool (to remove any stray broken fibers), then re-apply a moderate coat of clean oil on the formerly rusty spots. Do not get overly vigerous with the steel wool, and try to contain the area in which you scrub with it.

  I've found a COPPER penny works well. Harder that the rust, softer than the steel. MAke sure it is copper and not the newer alloy pennies.

  Will these methods be O.K. for freckling? I dont want to scratch my gun up if I can avoid it.
  
  Thanks

  Hello Larry,
  
  Yes, either method will work... just be sure to use a liberal amount of oil before starting the removal process, and go slow.

  Whatever method you use, it is a good idea to try it out first on some place on the gun that won't show. If it damages the finish, try something else, somewhere else till you find what works best for you.

  I've found that a piece of stripped electrical wire (copper) works great. The idea is the same as the penny, only the wire is flexible and small, so it is easier to work with. I use it quite often to get rust spots out from under the vent rib on my duck gun (I hunt is salt marsh). Good luck.
