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.

How do you fix rust on a gun?
First, you cannot fix the damage already done but you can repair and stop the rust from doing more damage. Take a fine sandpaper or a wire wheel or steel wool and remove all the rust from the gun. After the rust is removed, reblue the gun with a solution made just for this. Ask any gunshop for the solution you need. If the damage is to the point to make the gun unsafe to use as in holes in the barrel or in the firing mechanisms, you may need to replace the effected parts.
