Fat-Ferret 857 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hello, Do anyone know is it possible to remove light rust from the outside of a shot gun barrel. I was shooting at the weekend and left my shot gun in the slip overnight and it was slightly damp, It was in my rush to get in and get back out of the house again as I was late... I took it out yesterday and it looked a little unhealthy... Ive tried a little WD40 and that has cleaned it up a little, but there is more it wont shift...If theres nothing to shift it should a gun smith be able to re do it? Thanks Quote Link to post
trooperman 73 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi mate there is only one method that is fine grade wire wool lightly rubbed over the rust area till it has gone good degrease then reblue many of the blueing kits are good at reblueing unless you no a good gun smith who does a bit of blueing. paul Quote Link to post
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I searched online, and found a youtube video on using an onion on the gun... But..It worked I rubbed it all over with a good juicy onion, let it dry and done the rust with aluminium foil...Top job The woman came in and saw all the tin foil all over the kitchen, a strong smell of oil and thought I had taken up crack smoking and gone mad with a gun. But it works Quote Link to post
