While working on the Bubba'd SMLE barreled action to get it cleaned up, I've noticed some very light rust spotting at various places on the action. I'd post a photo, but it is very subtle and wouldn't photograph well, it is however, noticeable to the eye.
 
Typically, I've used WD40 and steel wool to clean things up, but it seems that after doing so the small rust spots come back or are at least visible again. Any recommendations?

I have used blue wonder on a very rusty winchester model 95. it helped a lot. they have a little video that shows application. bluewonder.us to see products and video....Dane...

Forget the WD40, it is not a rust preventative. Try soaking it in good old ATF for a week or so.

Oils won't do anything as long as there is live rust present.  Either buy some Birchwood Casey Blue and Rust Remover at Wal-Mart or your LGS, or try Home Depot for some phosphoric acid.  Both will remove rus AND bluing, so be careful.  Plain old Naval Jelly will also work just fine.

he is right about the WD40 tho , will not stop it , it displaces water , need to neutralize the rust

Sorry for the confusion. I meant that you could oil well to prevent more rust forming after the existing stuff was removed.

Heard of using a hot Coke to clean batteries and stuff with.
My Step Dad used to send me to the store when he worked at the Dock as a Mechanic helper for a boat company to clean batteries with.... 
The first time he sent me for one he had to explain why he wanted a HOT Coke !!  I kept asking why ?? They sell them cold and you dont have to put it on ice !!!  As a kid I could not fathom wasting a Coke for cleaning !LOL!!!
I have never tried it since ....
Oh and that was when you could buy a Coke for 25 cents ... and yes I remember paying a Dime for one and having to drink it in the store because I didnt have a nickle for deposit !!

I use copper never seize on my 4x4, works great. I have some other never seize compound that I use which is toxic and I have to use latex gloves to apply it to chassis bolts. I dunno what's in that sh!t but it works great. Getting back to the original post, I use transmission fluid to remove rust, that and some 0000 steel wool will take that rust off el pronto and leaves a coating that protects against future rusting. I believe that tranny fluid is 30 weight oil with anti foaming agents and a cleanser to keep the tranny parts clean and lubed. Naval jelly works great as well, but is really hard to find in my area.

Vaseline (Petroleum jelly) is a great anti-corrosion fix for battery terminals. It conducts way better than most greases so it gives more oomph to the circuit.

Ordinary dish washing liquid liquid in concentrated form will remove rust but it does take some time.  Of course it needs to be removed after but Hoppe's seems to clean it off just fine.  I haven't seen any rusting since the treatment.  The dishwashing liquid also removes all protective oils so oiling needs to follow before it gets wet.  I was removing heavy rust from a bore.

Hot water with a lot of dishwashing liquid also frees rust frozen parts with a bit of soaking.

Degrease the part with liquid dishwasher detergent scrubbing all the nooks and crannies well.
Simple green works well, but is more expensive.

Boil in distilled water for about 30 minutes. The Red rust if it is light will convert to black oxide. Use 0000 steel wool to knock off any loose black oxide particles.

Immerse parts in a large container of WD-40 and oil liberally with your favorite gun oil afterwards.

You are basically rust bluing your firearm using this process. Rust is converted in the same way using rust bluing solutions.

^^^ This is the answer. I forgot about that one. I have used it before and it will turn whatever rust that is there to blueing. I used steam, but that is essentially the same process.

I took over my father in law's BSA SxS. It was covered in a rust. The first thing I did was spray it down with a PTFE (Teflon) based spray (Wynnflon is the one over here) and a good rub down with newspaper. That got rid of all the "dry" rust. What was left was removed using 0000 steel wool and paraffin (yanks call it kerosene). Do not use oil with the steel wool. After an hour I got tired, so wipe off with paraffin and spray with PTFE oil. Wrapped in plastic till the next day. It took me 4 or 5 sessions to get it nice and clean without damaging the blueing. It is slightly pitted in places and has a nice "working" gun look and feel. Every time I handle her I give her a quick wipe with PTFE oil.
 
There are other tricks to cleaning metal parts. For my e.d.c. CZ75 I strip and scrub in paraffin. Rinse with boiling water. A good clean with PTFE and regular wipe downs. Paraffin will not damage rubber or plastic parts. Some guys use petrol, but never near non metal parts.
 
I only use PTFE oils for cleaning and wipe downs on all my firearms. No more Q20 or WD40 for my girls.

So you are saying Kerosene is a good gun cleaner ?? I may have to get some and give it a try.... wish I still worked at the Heliport/// I used to throw out 10++ gallons of Jet Fuel a day when I was draining the fuel nozzle drip pans !!! the Kerosene was good still!!  it was just the drippings off the fuel nozzles !!

My Old Army Bud , Sgt Deshotels has a mixture he uses to clean all his firearms that he mixed up for his Black powder firearms .... Its 1/3 part Alcohol , 1/3 Murphy's oil and 1/3 Hydrogen peroxide ....  I have not tried this yet so I can only say that the Black powder rifle he gave me and the BP revolver I traded for both were in pristine condition when I got them !!!!

He has a Black Powder lube recipe that wont go bad , I will have to get back with him on it.. its better than crisco which goes rancid after some time.... I didnt get to write that down when I was at his place a few weeks ago .... But did get the cleaning recipe !!

My father took quinine (the active ingredient in tonic water) every time he had an outbreak.
All you can do is give sufferers water in large quantities & quinine & keep them in bed to control the temperature till the outbreak passes.

Tonic water is a great thirst quencher, it also helps open the bowels. It has a percentage Quinine in it and I think that gives it the bitter taste.

 
Now days we have prophylactics for preventing malaria, although there are side effects. You have to watch out for the malaria stain the attack the brain. That's the bad one.

With any of our old guns /rifles, we don't want to be too hard on any old finish there is remaining, so best steer clear of Naval jelly and such.
ATF will break down most rust.
The way I see it, on some of our guns, the rust took a long time getting there, so we can't expect it to be instantly gone without being very severe. Best take our time, use them, clean 'em, oil 'em, and in time the rust will go.
Use the ATF and leave it on the rusty bits if possible.
When cleaning, give these areas an extra good rubbing with an oily rag.
In time they will look much better, Without hurting the overall looks.

Petroleum jelly was original spec rust prevention for the Lee Enfields and Rangoon oil to lubricate the moving parts.

I picked up on this wonderful stuff some time ago when checking out an old boy's bayonet collection. He had each blade in the scabbard with a light coating of Vaseline. Clear, clean, almost odourless and tasteless. It will wipe off easily with a rag. Some blades hadn't seen the light of day in twenty years, none of them had any sign of rust and came clean with a wipe.

I had a couple of revolvers in holsters in a safe. Horror! I took them out one day and they had rust where they had contact with the holsters. I cleaned off the rust, no damage. Lightly smeared them and put away. No problems since.

Cosmoline is petroleum jelly with additives, I believe.

I also protect my hand tools in the shed with a wipe down and a hand rub with some jelly in my palm. Parts in the spares bins gets a smearing of petroleum jelly when they get put away. It really is good stuff, it sticks like schmit to a blanket and never dries up.

Oil and fine steel wool to remove rust. Crusty stuff I use the mouth of a brass cartridge as a scraper, clean and apply petroleum jelly.

I think Cosmo is Lanolin-based. It might well also have petroleum jelly in it though.
The original Petroleum jelly suggested isn't quite Vaseline but "Red petroleum", but it is a a first cousin. AFAIK its no longer available, so Vaseline is probably a good substitute..

This is another  situation where Ed's red on triple O steel wool will remove the surface rust and continued gentle rubbing will work to kill it (if you cant boil it off to make it into blueing, that is) . One of the many uses you will find for it in the gun room and it makes a great handcleaner as well. Cheap and very effective.

So, I've been reading all the comments and thought I'd weigh in.  I picked up some barrelled actions that were covered in rust (some worse than others).  I thought that I could combine the actions and rebuild one out of the bunch.  Because of the level of rust, cleaning was going to require a lot of elbow grease or sandblasting. 
I opted to work smarter rather than harder and built a large electrolysis tank.  It only took 12 hours per barrelled action, every flake of rust was removed with no damage to the action.  Afterwards, I cleaned the actions with soap and hot water (I used a green kitchen scrubbie to remove all the black sludge left over from the electrolysis process) and oiled the action with gun oil.  
After that I found that all the barrelled actions were able to be rebuilt, so now I have several rainy day projects ahead of me.
Best way I've found to remove lots of rust. 

Electrolysis tank
a. 1 lg plastic tank (got mine from "The Evil Empire" Walmart) it was 31" x 18" x 20".  I would have liked it to be a bit longer as the barrelled actions were 32" but couldn't find one.
b. Two 20" pieces of rebar 
c. Some rebar tie wire (I got a spool of this wire awhile back, it's easy to use and can be bent over the sides of the tank.
 d. wood dowel 24" long (I use this to span across the center of the tank and suspend the metal part from)
e. electrical tape (because of the 20 gallons of water needed to cover the metal parts in my project, the tanks walls began to get pushed wider and wider apart, so to keep the integrity of the tank I used electrical tape to strap across the tank and keep them from spreading)
f. 12 volt battery charger
g. Baking Soda (I had to literally bake out the bi-carbonate out of the baking soda to make soda ash for the electrolysis to work.  Simply pour the baking soda into a pie plate or cookie sheet with walled edges and bake it at 400 degrees for an hour) use 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.
h. enough insulated electrical wire to span across to the two rebar pieces and lay along the bottom of the tank.


Set the tank level on the floor, take the two pieces of rebar and using the tie wire tie each end of both of the rebar leaving enough wire to allow the rebar to set level and 2" above the bottom of the tank.

connect the insulated wire from one rebar to the other.  leave enough wire so that it lays on the bottom of the tank.

suspend your rusty metal part or parts by using the dowel of wood and a piece of the tie wire into the center of the tank.  DO NOT LET THE PARTS TOUCH THE REBAR or the tie wires suspending the rebar throughout this process!!

mix 1 tablespoon of soda ash into a gallon of water, mix until dissolved and add it to the tank.  Continue this process until the rusty parts are thoroughly covered with the water solution.

now, connect the Positive RED lead from the unplugged battery charger to one of the tie wires suspending the rebar.  do not let the red lead get wet.  I leave enough length of wire outside the tank suspending the rebar pieces to connect to ensuring that the lead doesn't get wet.

connect the negative BLACK lead to the tie wire attached to the rusty parts. This lead can get wet but if your tie wire is wrapped around the dowel above the water mixture it won't need to be wet.

finally inspect that the parts aren't touching the rebar or suspension wires and plug the battery charger in.  within a minute or so you'll see bubbles begin to come up off the parts.  This means that the electrolysis is working to pull the rust off the parts and onto the rebar.  

Warning!  The cute bubbles are hydrogen gas so make sure to be using your tank in a well ventilated area away from any open flames.  It's not a lot of hydrogen (not like the Hindenburg) but better safe than sorry.  I just left a window open that night.

this process takes a few hours to a full day depending on the rustiness of the parts.  In the end, the bottom of the tank and the rebar pieces will be covered with rust and the parts will be black and slimey but totally free of rust.
unplug the battery charger, remove the parts and clean with soap and water.  dry thoroughly and oil immediately.

I'll try and post some pictures when I get the chance to help you get a better idea of what the tank looks like.
Also, there are some awesome youtube videos on the process that I would recommend you watch.

Good description. I use electrolysis a lot. I can't say enough positive things about it.

It is the same process as used by museums to derust shipwreck cannon. The subject item can be left in there for long times without any consequence to the parent metal. I actually like the dark steel grey finish left on the metal. Reminds me of old swords and armour on display in the museum (go figure).

For a tank long enough to hold a musket, I simply make a long thin heavy cardboard box with an open top and line it with vapour barrier or a black garbage bag opened up along its length.

The process is so simple and effective, people just dont believe it. Rusted barrles can be cleaned out using a steel rod inserted into the bore. I use fat rubber o rings spaced along the rod to keep it from touching the bore wall.

The only drawback is that spring steel can be effected, or so I have been told. The answer is reportedly to bake the spring steel in an oven at 450c afterwards for a few hours. I have done so and so far, never had any brittle fracture of the springs. So best to remove springs first if you can, to avoid them getting brittle.

I have de rusted siezed actions and complete revolvers. The process will even release frozen screws.

I want to try an electolisis system like Thudhugger posted.
I have 2 questions:
1- can the container be made of STYROFOAM? (I ask that because finding a plastic container that length may be difficult..but when I used to sell Salmon, it was shipped in Styrofoam containers-w matching lid0 & ice) I know many of the restaurants I used to sell to still get their Salmon that way, & the containers go to trash.

2- How do I print the instructions off the forum page? I seem to have a problem doing that.

I have already obtained the re-bar. I have a good battery charger.

Only one thing worse Canuck..WALLPAPER!

..& that's no joke.
When I was married me wife wanted to wallpaper a couple rooms (read she wanted ME to wallpaper)

I tried to tell her I was NOT @ all adept at that sorta thing..wouldn't listen.

Wasn't long,I looked like I stepped right out of a 3 Stooges clip. Wrapped in it, in me hair, on the floor - everywhere but the walls.

Some things are better left to those that know.
(I can tell ya all kinds o stuff bout food..not so much bout wallpaper of compuikers)

No, the electrolysis won't do any harm to the barrel or rifling other than remove any rust that may be in there. Other than that it's not like it will eat away the lands or anything like that.
