I believe that the electrolytic rust removal described in this thread MAY also remove gun blue finish... the only way to know is to try it on something non critical. Perhaps someone else has already tried that and will post the results here. Blue is in fact a type of rust.
FOUR ZERO "0000" steel wool and a good quality gun oil used very lightly will remove a small amount of surface rust without harming the overall finish... Some would recommend bronze wool... as it is less abrasive.
