One of my shotguns was left in the closet of my dad's trailer for a few months after grouse hunting (which I didn't know about...) well, when I found it, there was rust everywhere!! I was so mad... it was my 1st shotgun, which my dad gave me when I was 11! Anyways, I thought there might have been too much damage to save it, but I stumbled on this thread a few weeks ago... I tried Huntbears advice: I smashed down the  mouth of a spare brass case, rubbed some Hoppes gun-oil on a big patch of rust, and scraped it all off! I'm absolutely floored by how well it worked!! The gun looks almost brand new!! Thanks Huntbear!!
The more I get to know the less I find that I understand.

Try spaying WD-40 on it as well. It has a compound in it that penetrates the metal and breaks down the rust and removes small traces of it. Once a gun has rust on it it will come back if you do not keep it lubed up , It also will prevent future rust from coming back.

Give it a try
