hi all i have a aa tx200 22 i dont use it much only now and again for pheasants at work. i lent it out a while bck and it came bck with slight rust on barrel its not much. theyd left it in the shed is there any way i can solve this problem

Ive heard of people using wirewool but dont because it scratches the blueing......i would use wd40 and cloth or a little clenzoil leave to soak and wipe with cloth.......there are lots of products at gunsmiths for this prob though

Scrunch up a bit of aluminium foil and gently rub the rust spots.

 

The rust is softer than the aluminium, but the barrel steel and bluing isn't, so it takes the rust off but doesn't damage the good metal.

 

Then when it's nice and clean, take it round to the person who borrowed it and beat them repeatedly around the head with it for letting a finely tuned piece of kit go rusty! (Ok, don't actually do that, though I'd definitely be having words!)
