    Bluing tarnish

    Hello folks,

    I have just purchased a second-hand good nick CZ 527.
    The bluing has some signs of light tarnish that I assume could develop into all out corrosion.
    I'm used to old ratty rifles that can be wet and dried and then re-blued, but this is a really nice original rifle and I want to keep it that way.
    Tomorrow I intend starting by stripping in down and simply giving the metal a good rub with Break Free ?
    Any other tricks ?

    Eezox, use it and things won't rust. Break free CLP is good, Eezox is gooderer.

    I panicked for no good reason.
    A good wipe with gun oil and it's come up like new.
    Thanks Makros, will have a look at Eezox, looks like we're in for a wet winter.
