I just pulled out an old .35 and found a few rust spots on it. I oiled it last year but it still rusted. Just wondering what you guys think is the best way to remove the rust spots??

0000 steel wool and lots of oil

0000 NOT 000 or 00!

Rub gently and oil often.

I had an issues with my Knight ML a few years go after a hunt in the rain and I didn't dry it off when I got home. Needless to say it was pretty rusted that it wouldn't wipe off.

I went to Wal Mart and bought a rebluing kit made by Outers and in a short afternoon after following the directions reblued the gun and it has been perfect ever since (probably 8 years now). Not even a hint of rust or fading. Unfortunately I think the rebluing may have been better than the first.

You may want to try a product called G96. I duck hunt in salt water quite a bit and it really keeps things clean and rust free.

Great product for cleaning surface rust.

I really dont like steel wool because it breaks apart and then rusts. if it is just a couple spots, spray it down with rem oil, and wipe clean and then go after the small rust spots with a penny. and re-oil.

Pick up a bottle of "Rusteprufe Nitro Slovent & Rust Prventing Oil".
The applicator looks like a small chamois and comes in a short round jar, extra oil comes in regular small bottle. Absolutely amazing stuff, wipes the rust right away.(I'm talking about surface rust - if you have deep pitting, I don't know how it would work). It's made in Wisconsin since 1938. I got mine at Miller's Gun Shop in New Castle, Delaware.

Thanks for all of the replies. Once rifle season is over, I'll get on it.

when the season is over it will be worse, get on it now at night.
