Luger and Break-free

[Johnny Peppers]

As to Remington using rust blue that late, I am a little surprised. I have Remington guns from the 1950's and they are definitely tank blued.

I believe the Remington 740 came out in 1955, and it is common to find these rifles with rust blue finishes. It is easy to tell the rust blue finish on these rifles by looking inside the receiver from the bottom. The rust blue solution ran down just inside the receiver, blueing this area, where the remainder of the inside the receiver is still in the white.
The Remington Model 870 was introduced in 1951 and is very common in rust blue finish.
Recently the local gunshop had a Remington Model 760 in .35 Remington brought in to be drilled and tapped for a scope. The rifle was in 99% condition, and the gunsmith couldn't talk the owner, who had just inherited the rifle, from D&T'ing the rifle, which was in rust blue.

solvent for cleaning.
Then use a good grease and or oil where required.

grease where items slide against each other and oil where pivoting and surface protection.
