Located a S&W model 10, 1971 era with really bad rusting. I need advice on stripping the rust away.

We have to see if the revolver works. 👍👍👍👍
@Duelist I don’t know if YouTube demonetizes these videos, but the first has over 12 million views(!!!!).
There’s something off on those popular restoration videos. The rust is too orange, too uniform and yet somehow never deep enough to leave pitting.
I strongly suspect chemicals are used to produce that superficial rust, rather than time and moisture.
But the restoration techniques are valid.
I’ve used Krud Kutter and Ready Strip Rust Remover. They work.
Well, that actually makes some sense. If you were going to deliberately set out to rust a gun to the point of pitting (that astra had visible surface pits) and then show the process of resuscitating it, using an RIA or Rossi or Taurus would be much preferable to using something valuable.
