freckling removal

gun_runner
I posted a question regarding rust removal on my 94 30-30. I got most of it off using oil and 0000 steel wool. Im having a really hard time with the finer formations. Its like its so smooth the steel wool doesnt touch it. I can handle imperfections but not the ones I can control. Any suggestions? Should I just leave it alone and see what develops while applying oil regulary? or should I get more aggressive.

Thanks
Neurotic gun owner

    Try a little Flitz Metal Polish.See if you can find a hidden spot to try it on.The tube will say does not remove bluing (HA HA) go easy.

    Get Blue Wonder gun cleaner.One of the posters on this site owns the company that makes it.It is a gel that comes in a tube.I had a heavyly rusted Mossberg barrel,smeared some gel on it and wiped it off later a couple hours.The instructions say to warm the metal with a hair dryer and use ooooo steel wool if it is really deep.It will not harm the bluing either.Their touch up blueing kit works good too.Search the "General Discussion" forum on this site for "Blue Wonder" and you will see what I mean.I buy mine from [www.cheaperthandirt.com]but if you look at the manufacture's site[www.novumsoloutions.com] they have list of dealers that may be near you.

    Give it a try you will never use any other gun cleaner.CW

    If you can find some magnesium wool, use it with the Blue Wonder cleaner. It will remove the rust and leave the blue.
