Lancaster, I Use the same rust removal method, but if the rifle was originally rust blued it may leave spotting in spite of best efforts. I recently had a rust problem with some original Mauser .22 rifles that had been left in a safe in a barn shed for about a year without attention. I removed the rust, but it unfortunately left spotting on a few of the rifles. Fortunately these were not high condition guns to begin with, so not a lot of value lost. I may attempt to polish and rust blue them myself, after doing some study of polishing methods, carding, etc. The key is to avoid any 'washing' of the markings in the polishing. There is a gunsmith in Fayateville, TN (Charles Danner) who is brilliant at this and does great work.

Can anyone recommend a good book on rust bluing techniques?
