removing rust

[coondogger]

I have not fired my S&W model 25 in quite some time. It resides in the safe with other little used guns. The other day I thought I'd take it for the range for fun. On closer inspection, there was a spot of oxidation on one of the cylinder flutes. About a quarter inch in diameter. I put some Rem oil on it and rubbed it, which removed most of the rust but left a stain. What's the best way to deal with this?

Try Flitz metal polish first.

Then 0000 grade Extra Fine steel wool & oil if Flitz doesn't do all you hoped for.

You can also get it at ace hardware.

I got mine at the local ace hardware store and it did a great job.
