Like many, I have a "project" gun in the works. It is one of the SOG VZ 24 7mm mausers discussed in a recent thread. It definitely has some rust...so was needing some opinions. At first, I was considering naval jelly but after researching its use, found it probably is most likely way too harsh, so I went looking into alternatives. I found these two prospects:

A.) Evaporust

B.) Envirosafe rust remover

People seem to have had good luck with the Evaporust, but it is rather costly...10 dollars or so for a quart. Looked into the Envirosafe...it is in a concentrated form. 1 gallon of the stuff (around $60) can supposedly produce up to 10 gallons of solution. Im thinking the Envirosafe might be the way to go...plus the solution is reusable and I never know what other projects or things around the house could benefit from its use. Its definitely less harsh than the naval jelly. Have any of you used either products? What did you think/recommend?
