Quick Tip: Easy Way to Remove Surface Rust from Your Firearm (Video)

Hey folks,

Just wanted to share a quick video I put together over on my YouTube channel The Hobby Gunsmith — it shows an easy and safe way to remove surface rust from a firearm using nothing more than 0000 steel wool and a bit of gun oil.

A lot of us have run into rust issues, especially on older guns or those that haven’t been out of the safe in a while. This method has worked really well for me over the years — no harsh chemicals, no special tools, just a simple, no-nonsense solution.


If you get a chance to watch, I’d really appreciate your thoughts — and if you have your own go-to method for rust removal or firearm maintenance, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks for taking the time, and shoot safe!

Yep, steel wool and some sort of lubricant(solvent, oil, gasoline) has always been the safest way for the finish
Anything else usually hurts the bluing
