Receiver
My receiver is a little rusted. Should I be worried and is there anyway to get rid of the rust? I heard to use vinegar. Thanks for any help. How do I add a photo of the receiver here?

So what is better Rust Stopper or rust Kutter?
As far as I can tell, the Rust Stopper is simply a rust preventative and not a rust converter. You would want a product that will convert the existing rust into a harmless and protective coating. Rust-Kutter is one of those products.
There are others also. Look for a product that says it is a "Rust Converter". Personally, I would go for the Rust-Kutter since I know how well it works and it is readily available at any Tractor Supply store. You simply spray it on, let it sit to dry, and then paint right over it. You don't rinse it off or anything.

Will HinderRUST applied to it work?
From a quick search on the net...
There are 3 types of HinderRust. The R2.0 is a removable rust preventor (like the cosmoline that the military uses(ed) to cover weapons, metal parts, etc, for shipping or storage). It is a removable compound. It will may prevent rust from forming, but it is not a permanent solution.
S4.0 is a harder to remove but is still sort of like Cosmoline Plus. It is not a rust converter, but will protect as long as it covers the metal and is not removed through wear or weathering.
HV100 is their strongest compound. From the discription, it almost sounds like Undercoating. It does say that it will not completely harden over time. So how this will work I don't know.
What you want to get as stated by others, is a RUST CONVERTER. This stuff takes surface rust (which you have) and converts from Iron Oxide to Iron Phosphate or ferric tannate (depending on if the active ingredient is Phosphoric or Tannic Acid).
This will convert ANY rust present into an inert compound that can be painted over.
This is the site where it explains the different types of HinderRust <--This is NOT meant to endorse the product, just to offer it's various options.
As for the Rust converter, you can type Rust Converter into Google, and it will give you several different sites expounding on the various types of rust converters out there, as well as information on what it does.
I hope this helps clear up any questions...If not, I don't know what else to say.
Yes, you can use the HinderRust, but as it is not a permanently bonded coating to the metal, when it rubs off, it is going to expose the metal to oxidation again...But as NO coating on metal is permanent, that is a moot point.
