the outside can be polished, reblued, nitrided, painted, or whatever. what does the bore look like?
The riflings look great from what I can tell. I am just in the process of cleaning it now but from what I can tell they are good. Going to take it out this weekend for some test rounds.

Media-blast it with walnut shells or corn-cob...

Should take all the rust off without removing any metal. Pitting will still be visible.

If you're brave and have the access, you could chuck it up in a lathe and do this...
I have a sand blaster but it is filled with glass beads. No corn or walnut media Grandpa does have a lathe but I don't know that we are brave enough to attempt that kind of process. Might just be left as is, family history in tact.
