If ever needed ... FYI, the best product I've ever used to remove rust is called 'Frontier Cloth' by Big 45 Prodcuts. It is a special proprietary mix of monel and other stainless-type steels, but that are softer than barrel steels, but harder than rust.
I've successfully used them to remove surface rust on many arms, including highly collectable Colt and Winchester arms, without blemishing or ruining the base bluing or parent patina.
