While hunting this year I kept a charge in my rifle during a few high moisture days, which resulted is a moderately stuck breach plug with some corrosion in the threads of the barrel and breach plug.
So this fall I cleaned it all out best I could, dried, and re assembled with lube. Seemed to go back together nice and smooth, but and just having it sit around in my safe for a few months the breach plug and barrel started corroding together again.
Trying to fix this once and for all. I have been able to get the visible corrosion off the breach plug with this tool:

But the barrel end I have been less successful. I have been scrubbing the breach best I can, but just can’t seem to get every last bit of corrosion out of all of the threads.
Any ideas how to get every last bit of rust out of the breach end and stop it from continuing to corroding?
It’s a CVA Accura with Stainless steel nitride coated barrel and breach plug.
