I had some flooding in my basement last summer, and a slight rust film was starting up on a few of my wall hangers. I scrubbed them down with Hoppe's #9, let them sit overnight, them wiped them down, and I was pretty much good. On some of the older guns with already thin blueing, I rubbed them down with a little Oxpho Blue, and I'm good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are talking about blued gun metal. What kind of condition are you talking about; Is the blue worn off? Does the metal have surface rust only? Is there any heavy pitting? What type of gun is it and is it just a shooter or a collector? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d paint them down with Hoppe’s #9 and let them sit overnight. The next day, I’d wipe them down with an old bath towel. That usually got all or most of it. There were a few spots I’d have to use #0000 steel wool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
