Glass-bead-blasting can be quite gentle; I've used it on corroded brass
and plastic, and brittle corrosion products got removed without
any harm to the rest.

Thanks for the info/reply and now some followup...

Talked to my friend and seeing he already had some Bar Keepers Friend
in the kitchen sink cupboard he gave it a try first.

Said it worked great, gun cleaned up really nice with it. He's planning
on selling it (he thinks he already has a buyer) so we won't know about
any long term problems it may have caused...

Well, if he neutralized any acids/bases, then rubbed it with some MAAS
or other metal protector (or gun oil) he shouldn't have any problems.
It was probably the lack of gun oil which allowed the rust to appear
in the first place. Remind him to -maintain- his weapons, eh?
(oops, which reminds me...)


Many thanks to everyone who commented/helped with this

Thanks for "the rest of the story."

Ditto.
