Cleaning rusty gun metal

I just wanted to share my experience of cleaning up rust on a rifle using a new method I just learned about. I’m sure most of you saw I just picked up a new rifle that had been neglected for many years. I got this method from YouTube, a gunsmith on there named Mark Novak uses this method. I took the action out of the stock, separated all the smaller metal parts and placed them in boiling water for about 30 minutes. Once these parts were out I then place them in a trough of kerosene for another 30-45 minutes. Once I took parts from kerosene I used air to dry them all. The parts will almost instantly start to flash rust. Next I took 0000 degreased steel wool to “cart” the rust off, once the rust is removed tou are left with an almost black looking blue. After the rust was removed I used some cheap non detergent lawn mower oil and coated or soaked all parts. I left them in the oil overnight took them out the next day and wiped everything down really good and then took some ballastol to lightly coat the metal parts, you could use about any of your favorite gun oil in this step but only use non detergent oil after the boiling and drying with kerosene or it will compromise the finish. It won’t help any pitting on the metal but I’m super happy with the results and it’s way better than using blue and rust remover!!
