Depends on how heavy the rust is. Light surface rust comes right off with 0000 steel wool and a good gun oil. Heavier rust may need the attention of a gunsmith.

Good answer above. Remember that bluing is a FORM of rust, so rust removing chemicals, such as Naval Jelly, will also strip bluing in a blink.

I would soak it in penetrating oil for a day or two, then take a brass or fine steel wire 3 or 4 inch wire wheel available at most hardware stores, mount it on a drill or small bench grinder and watch the rust fly off. Make sure you wear a face shield!! There is a different less aggresive procedure for fine or light rust. Contact me for that info.

First, you cannot fix the damage already done but you can repair and stop the rust from doing more damage. Take a fine sandpaper or a wire wheel or steel wool and remove all the rust from the gun. After the rust is removed, reblue the gun with a solution made just for this. Ask any gunshop for the solution you need. If the damage is to the point to make the gun unsafe to use as in holes in the barrel or in the firing mechanisms, you may need to replace the effected parts.
