For light, surface rust, a soaking in something like Kroil, WD-40, or automatic transmission fluid is good for getting into the pores of the metal and displacing the moisture. Once soaked, gently polish the metal with bronze wool, a pure copper Chore Boy pad could also be used, but be gentle. Once the rust is removed, thoroughly oil. Rem Oil is actually an excellent rust preventive oil.


In the future, thoroughly oil the metal after each range session. Alcohol is pretty darned good at stripping away oil. It can also take the oils out of a wooden gun stock.
