Any ideas/products to get rust off a gun barrel?

I left my shotgun In a humid garage for a few days and now there are spots of rust on the outside of the barrel. Is there anything I can do myself to get the rust off, or do I need to take it in to a gunsmith?

Doesn't help you now but I keep mine in a moisture absorbent sock because I keep mine in a basement. Done the trick thus far for 3 years. Even if it's not working I'm only out $15.

Steel wool

0000 Steel wool with a little oil. rub lightly and slowly. may take you 30min, but it will come off. don't scrub, rub

Dab a little acetone on it

Good suggestion. I'd say use some CLP with that steel wool. You can get a giant bottle of the stuff at Walmart.

Seems like overkill if it's just some very light surface rust. WD40 and a paper towel will usually get that right off.

Naval Jelly, will also remove Blueing. I was using some on rusty tools last night and noticed it mentioned gun barrels.
