Color Case Hardened

I'd just scrub it with oil and a coarse cloth.

There are getting to be a lot of threads on the gunboards about DIY rust bluing which calls for little equipment but a lot of patience.

You can bend a trigger guard out of strap iron. There was a piece on the approach to making it look nice in a back issue of Rifle Magazine.
