    Default Surface rust

    I have a rifle that is starting to get a little surface rust, the rifle was/isn't being store at my house so I just noticed it. What is the best way to remove the rust?

    a very, very fine steel wool thingie, and a bit of lubricating/cleaning oil. It washes right off.

    I hope it is not your AK!!!!! Try some Rem Oil on a patch or rag first. The patch should show rust. If this does not work, soak a small piece of 0000 Steel Wool in the same oil and rub very lightly. Make sure the steel wool is 0000. Problem solved. Your finish will not be harmed.
