I second the above. I also use 0000 steel wool. if the rust is scaley, I also use a brass punch to GENTLY scrape off. I have found nothing better than Breakfree CLP Oil and Tetra gun grease as a cleaner and preservative/protector. I use the CLP during the removal process, then liberally coat the weapon with Tetra (liberally applied with a patch). Rig is equal to the task. The worst you can do is remove too much. many finishes are ruined because someone will get to enthusiastic about removing a few speckles of rust and take a good chunk of bluing with it.
