Bluing that S&W does now is much different than it used to be thanks to Mass enviromental regs . As stated above it'd cost as much or more than the gun was worth . Even the vaunted Fords quality has went down since the death of long time owner / gunsmith Mr. Horrace . If it were mine I'd get some fine bronze wool & gun oil . Don't use steel wool as that'll create more rust . Keep the gun wet with oil & rub with the bronze wool . Use fine 00 grade & keep the gun dripping . You might be surprised on how much is removed . Then you can either chose to Renaissance wax it , keep it well oiled , coat it with RIG grease or buy an anti- corrision pouch from ZCorr . Z-Corr bags were developed for the military who used to Cosmoline for long time storage . Now they clean the weapon , lightly oil it & put it in a sealed Z-Corr bag which last 7 years . Wepon can be pulled out & is immediately fit for duty . No more scrubbing Cosmoline in a wash tank full of gasoline .
