AnswerThere are many books written on cleaning and restoring firearms and you are best off if you visit a gun shop and buy a book along with the cleaning supplies you will need. You will also need detailed disassembly instructions so that the gun can be properly taken apart and reassembled.

There is always the temptation to take some fine steel wool and scrub the rust away but that is likely a poor choice. Firearms restoration attempts to preserve as much of the original finish as possible.

Bronze wool and oil. Will remove the rust with out damage to the finish. No steel wool it will remove bluing. If you can not find wool, use a wheat penny (all copper) and oil. Will do the same as the bronze wool.

Good luck.
