What is the BROWNELLS - Rust Release, 1 Gallon?
Powerful, rust stripper removes corrosion from steel and other ferrous metals. Gets rid of flash rust in as little as 15 minutes, cleans heavily rusted steel overnight. Environmentally safe formula attacks the rust but won’t hurt the metal underneath, so it’s great for restorations where bead-blasting and repolishing are undesirable. Penetrates dirt and oil, eliminating need for pre-cleaning on most jobs. Safer than traditional acid “pickling” processes. Non-flammable, acid-free, and biodegradable with low toxicity and minimal odor. Easy, one-step process doesn’t require multiple baths or rinses. Use full-strength straight from container, no messy diluting, mixing, or measuring. Re-usable - one gallon cleans up to 325 lbs. of rusty metal. Solution turns black when its rust removal properties have been exhausted. Also great for de-rusting tools, autos, bikes, antiques, lawn furniture, and many other items around the house or shop. SPECS: 1 gal. (128 fl. oz./3.8 liters) plastic jug.

Wonder Solvent
Soaked a rust barreling this for 24 hours. There was no rust left at all! Barrel was ready for a painless sanding job before being recoated.

Rust Release does the job!
Used this stuff on a very rusty Model 92 that was frozen shut. 24 hours in the bath and I was able to open the action but lightly tapping on the bolt. No damage to the finish or the parts.

best rust remover
This is the best rust remover I have ever used on anything. I've used it on guns, tools, old antique lanterns, it removes the rust but doesn't damage the steel underneath. it turns black when it is no longer any good but I've found it will still remove rust for awhile after turning black. It removes heavy rust as well as light rust, I've tried other products but this is the best I've ever used.

Super Solution
I do a lot of bluing and don't have time to fool with polishing rusted and pitted guns. Any gun that comes into my shop with rust on it gets 1/2 day in the tank with Rust Release. It not only removes the rust but the old bluing as well saving me time not having to polish the old blue off. This stuff seems to last forever and is easy on the environment and my hands.

This stuff is excellent.
I'm currently using this on two projects. The first is an old 12ga. shotgun that I'm refinishing. It had a lot of rust on it. I soaked the receiver over-nite, scubing off-and-on with a wire brush, and was able to remove all the rust and corrosion. The clean metal was completely unharmed and looks almost brand new. The second project is a Winchester 1886...this rifle is in rough shape. The extractor and firing pin were "stuck" in the bolt. After 24 hours soaking in Rust Release, I was able to completely disassemble the bolt. I have a long way to go restoring this rifle, but I'm sure Rust Release is going to play a big role.
