Hey All,
I have a S&W 66 snub that I bought via GunBroker.
The top strap has light rust freckling.
The top strap of these revolvers is sandblasted/satin finish, to reduce glare.
Any ideas on how to remove surface rust freckling...without scratching the finish?
(Just got this revolver yesterday, so haven't yet attempted to clean it...)
Thanks!

I would suggest a heavy shot of Rem-Oil or similar and a scrubbing with an old stiff tooth brush.

Any light oil and 0000 steel wool works too.

Easist way is to glass bead about 200 grit, available from Brownells.

Flitz cream and the finest steel wool you can find or a bronze gun brush. Go lightly and a little at a time don't worry about using to much flitz cream your more likely to pull the finish off with to little of it.

I'd do it with electricity. Distilled water in a plastic tub. 12 to 15 vdc. Positive lead to 66 negotive to chunk of iron. A table spoon of baking soda in the water to help conduct.

I've had good luck with a product called Ballistol and a light touch with fine steel wool. Seems to soften and dissolve surface rust while preserving the underlying blue. Only drawback is it smells like dead fish.
