My beloved Makarov has some small rust pitting on the slide. I keep it very lightly oiled to prevent any more rust, but was wondering if there is a good way to remove any rust spots. Being a daily carry gun, and not a collectors piece, it isn't worth a ton of money to do a restoration on but I'd like to clean it up and maybe re blue it. Any advice?

Get some of the finest grade (#0000) steel wool, apply a few drops of gun oil (any reputable brand will do) and lightly rub the pitted/rusted areas in a back & forth (not circular) motion.
Works for me.

And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

My dad taught me to use a pencil eraser for light rust. It has worked for me for 30 years.
