Hi all,
I picked up a used MarkII which is otherwise in perfect shape except for some rust spots on the backstrap. The gun looks like it has maybe a couple of hundred rounds through it and never been cleaned. I took it down, used BreakFree spray, cleaned well, and oiled it. All the internal parts are in great shape, not marks and not a spot of rust. However the backstrap and the litle knob on the bottom of the front have some little rust spots. Now I have no idea how to deal with this being that I never had any rust on my other guns, thanx to proper cleaning and use of a silicon cloth. How do you I clean the rust without damaging the bluing (which is kind of a rust). If there no choice about damaging the blueing, is there a way that a novice can use to reply it?
Thanx
Loch
