| I have a ruger 10/22 with some very small surface rust on the stainless barrel. They are about the size of the head of a ball point pin. It must have happened when I shot it in the snow. What is the best method to remove this surface rust? Thanks |
| Gun oil and steel wool works, even on blue guns. I've also used SOS pads and hot water, must oil IMMEDIATELY after drying. Never tried this on SS, but I use dilute phosphoric acid for metal conditioner before painting. The rust literally disolves and washes off. I'd suggest trying a small amount with a Scotchbrite pad. You could also try a polish like FLITZ or ROLITE. Those work great on SS. Good luck! |
