minimizing rust freckles on old blued gun
My. Brother ran across a Remington 121 Fieldmaster pump 22 in a house he is fixing up. Looks to be in good mechanical shape but has surficial rust "freckles" on barrel and receiver. I have it for safe keeping and playing with. From serial number and markings it appears to have been made in 1952 near the end of production. Shy of rebluing is there something I can do to pretty it up a little? By the way, it was in an attic for 30+ years loaded. My non-gun person brother had an ND with it. No damage fortunately. We know it still shoots at least! I have never seen a gun take up Rem Oil like this gun - real thirsty. My brother also found an old hammered hardware store branded double barrel shotgun - in bad shape and no way shootable. Maybe a good wall hanger but missing one hammer.
