Metal wools work because their edges are sharp.

However, depending upon how much rust needs to be removed and how it's done, keep in mind that the bits of wool as well as the bits of rust that accumulate are abrasives themselves especially as they build up in any oil used.

If using oil to reduce the amount of abrasion/suspend the debris, frequent flushing and changes of the oil are needed in my experience.

For light rust haze, I have used metal wools and turpentine.

The chalk idea is new to me but should work well so I will try it.

I have not tried some of the chemical removers and would not on any rust-blued gun.
