Decided to steel wool and oil it...looks better than it did. Didn't spend a whole lot of time on it.
Been my experience gun barrels are a pain to keep rust free once they get pitted...why I thought rust converter might work. Knew bluing was a form of rust, but I was hopeful. And I'm not a member of the wipe-my-guns-down-weekly club, they usually just get brought out when something needs shot, and wiped down when they get put away. So they're slightly neglected.
As an aside, I remember when Dad talked Mom out of enough trading stamp books to get this rifle. Was too young at the time to understand the marriage dynamics going on, but I'll bet there was some serious sweet talking happening
