    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Bronze brush on a drill
    A couple of minutes on each barrel with plenty of wd40
    Brought them up pretty nice
    Just pitted remaining but nowhere near as bad as I thought when I brought the gun

    I can believe that. I bought a "demo" shotgun which was meant to be in A1 condition. Externally it was perfect, but the barrel looked like a rusty barrel write-off. I got some Hoppes solvent and then some fancy foaming stuff. No amount of cleaning sorted it. A few good soakings in WD40 and the crap just fell off.

    WD40 is slippery stuff.
    your experience with Hoppes is what my gsmith mate said. Not like it used to be at all.
    The Din Collings stuff is the shizzle

    Id be bloody tempted to take barrels off plug one end and fill both with boiling water(ALA ye old.303 treatment)-a variation on that im told was a bit of vinegar in the H2O-strips paint off brushes so dont see why not?? leave upright in corner for 10-15 drain run a couple of patches through and see what slithers into the day light .repeat until you at least get a reasonable eyeball on the steel surface -then go for your standard treatments.
    actually try a wee spot of oven cleaner-cleans the oven so why not?
