How to Remove Rust From Your Firearm

PSA: If you put your gun away dry, it will rust. Today, Justin walks us through how to remove rust spots on a blued 1911 slide-check it out! #TopicTuesday

[@nonyabiz9487]

The Colt bluing is actually really nice quality. I have a two tone Colt 1911 with a stainless frame and blued slide. I had rust around the ejection port of the blued slide and I did the same oil brass brush treatment. The rust came right off and it looks brand new again!

[@juancarloscampos1672]

Can that method be used to remove rust on a blued slide? The brushed part not the sand blasted part

[@Tard1s2]

Will this work on the stainless finish on the sandblasted areas? Edit: Yes it does! Just tried it out. Kinda nerve wracking trying it. But it paid off :)

[@kentcanedo4486]

What rust remover fid you use?

[@Tard1s2]

@@kentcanedo4486 I used CLP

[@joshuahawkins2743]

Do this with caution it will remove the finish

Hi Colt How would you handle/ remove the same amount of rust from a “midnight Blue”. 4” Colt Python barrel? Thanks. This was a very instructive video! RSO

[@golf25radioman]

Will this procedure work if there is more than just a little rust. My 1911 was stored in one of those type cases and I just dug it out today to see a lot of rust on the slide. I would like to dissemble it to clean it but I don't want to damage anything doing that. I admit that this is all my fault, should have put it in a different case, but didn't know better. I carried a 1911 in Vietnam as a radioman, so there's sentimental connections to it (no, the USG wouldn't have allowed me to bring that one home!).

Thank you glad to know CLP will do the job

[@krinky74]

Great video! Much better than Brownell boring video on how to remove rust that showed me nothing other but I already know to try an oiled rag

[@productiondivision]

Excellent Justin, thank you!

[@randallgreene6428]

Does the same principle apply to a ruger p90?

[@markadams7597]

Interesting that Colt's foam case material will "retain moister" and maybe cause rusting. Now, I'll keep an eye on mine. Using a plastic "tooth-brush" style brass brush eliminates the worry for dragging the steel twist brush along the slide while brushing. Great vid, usual, learned much. Ty.

[@Rustebadge]

All foam cases, not just Colt's. These cases are for shipping/transport not storage.

[@oftenwrong.]

Long live the rampant Colt!!!

[@CA.0verview]

Any model of CLP can be applied?

[@brandonUwanawich954]

Can I use any gun oil or has to be SLP

[@reliablethreat23]

Any gun oil is good.

[@josevenzor4056]

Can this remove rust from a Kel tec p11 slide

[@kentcanedo4486]

Is WT-40 advisable to remove gun rusts too?

[@guyg9490]

Yes, works great

[@deraywoodridge4224]

DOES THUS WORK ON THE TAURUS G2c SLIDE

[@CA.0verview]

Can you push these to sold in California please!

[@rictheise84]

Thank you ! 👍

[@tylergarrett4498]

Does this mean you're improving your product line and returning you ar15s to market so I can make my fucking clone?

[@stephaniepatnesky6756]

[@JimboSlyce]

I find that hard to believe that doesn’t scratch.

[@allanwrench]

I did this on my M&P and it removed the finish.

[@cumshot247]

I saw in a different video that you should go with the direction of the surface machining. If you look at where he worked, you can see the machining going across the other way... 3:34

[@joshuahawkins2743]

Don't do it your rite it will screw the finish up

[@jarrodbarker5050]

Thanks, mom!
