What he said, the Penny, etc is just extra work to no purpose. Between the scraped off rust and the relatively hard Copper you are more likely to cause scratches than with the 0000 and oil. Any oil will work, ATF is excellent but not necessary. Break Free is as good as anything available and what I have used exclusively for the past more than 35 years.
Be sure to clean the back of the stocks too! Seal them with a coat of Tru-Oil, GB Linspeed, or even varnish. This keeps the small amount of moisture in the wood from causing rust. Be sure to oil under the stocks before reinstalling them
