Marc pretty much answered that question:
"If you do see active rusting areas (which eventually do lead to pitting) the rust should be removed. This is done using very fine steel wool that has been soaked in oil. Gentle and slow abrasion will remove the rust without damaging the bluing."

Given how you clean the guns you already own I seriously doubt you will be needing any 0000 steel wool. However, if you acquire another piece for your collection and it has surface rust steel wool and oil is the way to go.
