If you could find someone with a sonic cleaner big enough I’d try that first . And after I’d go the drill route but I’m cheap I’d use steel wool with oil in it .

Use a frontier pad as stated, and use some Turtle Wax chrome polish. You will be amazed with how well both of these items work.

First question is this a shotgun or a rifle? If it's smooth bore the frontier pad & drill will work wonders. If it has rifling keep the drill away from it.

Thanks for all the good advice, used up 3 batteries cleaning it. It is a
rifled barrel, Frontier pad and some crome cleaner worked good, along with a Green Scotch brite pad. Being Stainless steel helped keep down some of the corrosion. Also let it set 24 hours soaking with Hoppe's #9. Looks very Shootabull now. Harry |

Stainless steel? First things first. Plug the nipples, stand upright, and pour in soapy water and let it sit a day or so. Pour out, swab and see what you have. Might not be as bad as it looks. Metal might be stained but I doubt pitted. I whole heartedly agree with using the Frontier pad wrapped around a bronze bristle brush spun on an electric drill. Much better than steel wool.
