"0000" steel wool and a lot of elbow grease will make the mag LOOK better, and may even function...but it will never be as nice as an un-rusted one. Buy yourself a couple of good aftermarket magazines (Mec-Gar), or an original mag of the FXO variety... and just put that one away would be my advice.

Not too bad, I think it will look pretty good after some rust blue. Enough rust on it already to get a good start.
 I have done quickie jobs on guns like that by blasting the parts with fine aluminum oxide (150 grit), followed by rust bluing. A fine grit like that will clean off the remaining rust and give the bluing a good bite, and the blasted texture is so fine that it will disappear after rusting and carding. Here is one I did that way: |
