I recently acquired two muskets in the post-gettysburg get out of the hobby rush. Unfortunately they are quite rusty! I want to polish both to armory bright (remove ALL rust). I polished the lock innards with a buffing wheel and black/grey compound.
How should I polish the outside of the barrel? Wet/dry sandpaper? Bronze wheel? I am going from a fairly rough condition (It's clear the former owner of one had never removed the barrel from stock....)
