I am FINALLY going to get my breechplug wrench from DGW, so I can pull the breechplug on my Nepalese P1853 Enfield. The bore near the muzzle looks like it just has a coat of surface rust, and a patch run down the bore goes in and comes out without catching, so there are no apparent rough spots in the bore. Would naval jelly be OK to use to clean the bore rust out, if it was then cleaned out carefully? Or is there a better way that doesn't call for hours of elbow grease? There's no original finish to speak of left on the gun, so I'm not overly worried about getting naval jelly on the outside of the barrel (and a little cold blue would help blend things in again anyway).
