I'm fiddling with a shotgun that is quite decrepit.
But, because of it's origin and rarity, I'm going to work on it.

It's quite rusty.
The barrels cleaned up fine, but the action is "rough".

Should I use electrolysis to remove the rust before annealing and polishing?

Or, should I just send it out for annealing, and polish it when it returns? In other words, not remove the surface rust before annealing?

Thoughts?

Out there doing it best I can.
