I also oil my guns after cleaning. I put and leave oil on gun and loosely wrap in a rag and put it in it’s case.

Hi, great video! I used the same exact method on my shotgun barrel and the rust looked exactly like it did on your barrel. It got most of it off but now it seems like the rust is smooth with the barrel so no matter how much more I scrubbed there was still some there. Is this normal or should all the rust be gone? Thank you so much!
Use that same stuff for cleaning windows dry it 0000 One of my favourite things for cleaning polishing stainless you can use it for all kinds of things that stuff is fantastic
I use bronze wool,as fine as I can find it,and oil…never a scratch and no damage to any type of finish!
Great vid and info thx 👍
Awesome Video ! Question. I have a .50 Cal Hawkins Black Powder Rifle that the inside rifling has gotten rusty from my brother not maintaining it before it was gifted to me. Will this process help restore the rifling ? Thank You !
just dip it in cola for a few days lol
Video you won’t need any chemicals . Proceeds to break out a jug of oil . 😆 great tip though . I will add to break down the fjirearm as far as you are comfortable doing so . Rust gets everywhere .
I agree with the steel wool and oil method for light rust. One other thing I find that works well for heavier rust removing is GOJO hand cleaner. I usually just work it in with my fingers and leave it for a few minutes then damp cloth (not wet) rub/scrub. Follow up with a good cleaning and a good oil for protection.
thats not rusty
My Remington 870 in my truck for a few months and it had covered in rust. Going to try this. Thanks
You’re my hero.
Dude you’re lucky… I left my flight king out for an hour on a particularly muggy day and when I finally went to retrieve it and had rust crawling all over it.
Any tips for removing seized chokes?
Cheers mate! I have a Ruger American Rifle that has never seen water, however it’s starting to get some little rust spots on it. Will give this a try, stoked that it won’t effect the blue finish!!
Hello, I love the info. Can I use this method on a rifle with patina without affecting the beautiful patina?
Great video very informative and thanks for sharing!
Why wouldn’t you just remove remove the barrel?
Awesome
This is basically a type of "rust blueing," a very old method of bluing firearms.
I have a 22/22mag single action revolver. I had it tucked away in the back of my truck in compartment. In a plastic bag. But it still got rust development. I am going to use your method of cleaning it up. I may have to disassemble the weapon and clean it piece by piece.
If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them
Thank you

Oil is a chemical
That gun had surface rust not even bad, next time show us some rust.
I make things last for decades.
I oiled after cleaning and use, then I stored it in a full coverage cloth and wiped it dry before using it again. A light coat of oil. I was a rust worker, job title (Corrosion Control Specialist) in The US Air Force. Rust starts on the outer surfaces, then goes deeper. I even oiled the wood.
small rust is ok..but old and more rust is not possible
thank u so much u just saved a .22 if mine that got really rusted while on the trapline great video!
Great tip with the steel wool. I collect older camping lanterns, several nickel plated. The 0000 wool does wonders for polishing without scratching it up.
Thank you for that… I will never own a firearm, but I sure as hell own plenty of rust! I am restoring a 70 year old lathe & milling attachment that have been stored for twelve years where moisture could get to them. :o( Many of the smaller parts have a blued finish, and I have been wondering how to clean them.
Nice thanks for the short and sweet video!!!
Or just use a real copper penny
Just rub it over the rust
Then use gun oil
That grinder story is the real reason guns are banned in schools.
My forehead oil removes rust with no tools
A severely rusted gun should be boiled not sanded with steel wool and oil
gonna try this on an elephant gun, wish me luck i don’t want to ruin it
I found an AR 15 that was nice.. but the barrel was rusty I was curious on what else was messed up in the exterior
Guys don’t EVER use steel wool on you firearm 😂 wtf
I like this idea. I bought and used one of the "Rust Removers" on a Rem. M700 for a very small rust area near barrel/chamber about five years ago. Maybe about 1/8" by 1/2". Wanted to stop the rust from spreading. Applied the "Rust Remover" stuff and it took off the rust but also the whole exterior finish for about 1" by 3". 🙁 I just "subscribed".
Thank you so much man!!! I was about to ruin my police trade in flight king with DW40…
Just what I needed. I have a few collectors items and a house with a lot of humidity.
Only one way to never see rust, that’s to “SCRUB!..HARDER FASTER SIR!”
“Don’t use hoppes” at the end of the video 🥲😑
I’ll bet that gun smithing class isn’t offered today
fine bronze wool would be safer to use than steel wool
Hi this work for Knife 🔪 yes or no?
Awesome job! You just gained a new subscriber!! Thanks for Sharing!
Can I use WD-40 on my shotgun?
Ive used this method for years as a professional gunsmith. I make one substitution: Use Bronze wool instead of steel wool. The leftover bits of steel wool will rust away leaving mure "red rust" spots if not removed by compressor air or such. Bronze is also softer on the blued finish. If you want to strip it down to bare steel real quick, I suggest using a green pot scrubber pad!
Take it hunting and all the deer smell motor oil now 😂
