Can range from oil and a rag to sand blasting.

Agree with above. There is rust, and there is RUSTED. For light rust, start by soaking the METAL parts in a light oil, such as Rem-oil, or 3-in-1 oil (Special products such as Kroil are great if you can find them). Do NOT soak wooden parts in oil. After several hours of soaking, rub with a clean cloth, changing to a clean part of the cloth as rust gets on the cloth. For heavier rust, after soaking use a BRASS potscrubber, then the clean cloth. Do not use chemical rust removers, such as Naval Jelly- bluing is a form of controlled rusting, and they will strip bluing in a matter of seconds. Really heavy rust may require sanding, filing, bead blasting- best left to a gunsmith. and never ever soak it in wd-40 that is one of the worst things you can do to a gun.

Can you apply gun oil to a parkerized finish on a gun?

Absolutely, the parkarized finish helps hold the oil. If you don't apply oil it will eventually rust. I usually spray the finish with CLP (you can buy at Walmart in the gun section). Let it dry overnight and wipe off the excess.
