I just traded for a Stevens 5100 made in 1953. The barrels are clean inside and bright, but the outside has light rust and some pitting. Whats the best way to clean this up. I bought some cold bluing tonight at Wally World to put on after I get the thing cleaned enough, but that's the rub! I don't want to wear a hole in the barrels trying to clean out little pits. It there some substance I can rub on it that will remove the rust so that I can seal it? Thanks.
