Firearm Surface Rust Removal

This is a great ten minute talk by Ryan Muckenhirn. I highly recommend the whole ten minutes to you.
He discusses a number of interesting things, including G96, Barricade Wipes, bluing, SS rust (it’s actually more akin to corrosion, which is a subset of rusting), and Cerakote. He’s also a big fan of Cerakote, except don’t apply it to bearing parts like bolt lugs. It changes tolerances.
Here’s an interesting factoid for your consideration. Just like bluing is intentional rusting for the protection of the metal underneath, rusting is initiated on the inside surface of the piping of Reactor Coolant Systems for the same purpose. It’s called passivation.
