The other fellow was only suggesting the brake fluid as a solvent and it's not a "HORRIBLE" (!!!) idea at all. What part of "whenever I've run across a barrel in this condition, I have followed what I'm describing" did you not grasp?
To the OP: There are some bore pastes that have a bit of fine grit in them that you can use on a really trashed bore if needed but I've found that plain old kerosene, spirits or some other solvent works just fine with a steel bore brush if needed. And some times it is! Go easy obviously and use a steel brush the absolute minimum necessary. Some fine steel wool on a jag or one of the bore pastes on patch will add a polish once the rust flowers have been removed.
I claim to be no guru on the subject, I'm just a guy who's cleaned up a few rusty milsurp bores such that they shoot just fine now.

P.S. Madcrate: I'd love to hear more about that electro rust zapper!
