I think it was a miracle when I found this sight. So much knowlege in one place is really hard to find. After I strip the luger down you said to soak it in oil. Does that mean to submerge the parts in an oil bath, or to heavely coat the parts in oil. Also for how long. tomarrow I am going to pick up some steel wool 0000 and get started. I suppose the oil soaks in so far, I use the steel wool tho remove the oil soaked rust, and repeat until I remove all rust. I will use caution with the steel wool, not pressing down or rubbing the same area too long. There seems to be some pitting where rust has taken hold and those areas will probably prove to be the hardest areas to remove the rust.

Thanks to all who replied
