Is there a easy fast way you can get rust spots off a gun. I had a lever action 22 behind the seat and my kids got in and left the back sliding glass cracked and didn't realize the gun had got wet. It has some rust spots on it now I would like to get off. Thanks.

Does that steel wool do any damage to the barrel or just the rust. I'm gonna try everything posted and see which one works the best, and I'll post when I'm done. I appreciate all the help.

Gun oil n a used bore brush. The brush is a softer metal n will work good

Ive done both the old bore brush and the steel wool. I like the steel wool better. Oil the rust spot and the surrounding as well as a small spot on the wool and rub GENTLY it will pull the rust out then just oil it up and your done.

I have a rem 870 that used to be real bad about gettin light rust on it. And I used to be a manual machinist and I would take a pass at .002 and used the string shavins from that just cause I was scared to use regular steel wool it was a lot finer

If it's a Matt finish I'd say the oil and steel wool very lightly then oil after. If it's a blued finish try a brass bristle brush( used bore brush). Then touch up blue by heating the area with a blow dryer or heat gun and apply re-blu.
