I've had two heavily rusted items that apple cider vinegar was having a tough time breaking up. On those, electrolysis worked better for me.

I would personally go the electrolysis route myself, I would really like seeing a before shot of this capgun cause I really like checking out the old capguns. I know there's a remarkable restoration of a late 1800's cap gun on treasurenet that a gal from South Carolina found a few years back.
