Acquired a heavily rusted GEW 98 for short $. Will never be a shooter, but make a nice "wall hanger". Anyone have suggestions on what to do with the rust spots. Steel wool and CLP helps but not enough.

Any major pitting on/in the receiver or bore? If not why are you worried about shooting it?

Electrolysis is like magic, I've only used it for rusty tools though and not for firearms. Here's the recipe :How bad is it? Any pics. How about electrolysis? Works wonders for barrel bores why not the entire gun. Plenty of you tube info on it.
I have cleaned many crudy rifle bores with electrolysis. I have not had a specimen yet for enrtire gun project.
