Alf.
As previously stated, Kroil won't harm either rust or salt bluing.

I've recently had an interesting experience with Kroil. My 1916 LP-08 had some stains in the grooves. These were dark stains (not pits) and I was going to use some J.P. Bore Paste to see if I could remove them.

A friend suggested Kroil first, so I gave it a try. In only one night the Kroil "got under" the stains and they were whipped away by me the next morning with only a single dry patch!! Now the bore has a mirror shine!

I've heard the old-timers talk about this stuff for years, but now I am a believer.
