    So this is what it is. A working wall hanger that won’t sit there and rust(because it’s covered in Tru-oil).
    It works like a model 12;perfectly.Click image for larger version.

    Food is overrated. A nice rifle is way more important.

    I may have to use it to collect a duck dinner before I return it....where's those 2-3/4" steel shot shells?

    I'd not use vinegar as it can attack solid metal. I'd degrease it and use EvapoRust and let it soak for a couple of days. Use a toothbrush as needed after soaking. Should yield a rust free gun. May be pitted from the rust but the EvapoRust won't harm the steel. Finish as desired after that - Oxpho Blue, duracoat, etc.
