30-30                    223 stainless steel   20ga TDC
44 mag                  Tracker II 20ga        20ga
45-70 Manlicher     20ga USH                28ga

with a lot of oil.
after you get it fixed, degrease and
treat the gun with eezox.

fritz , tooth paste with baking soda or oil , baking soda mixed or Kroil oil any one will work. Then soak the bbl. in good oil and let stand for a while , wipe off excess .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

I've had good luck with automatic transmission fluid on a copper pot scrubber.  I think it was Ed Harris that told me about this...
