It's kinda rough looking treatment, but "ChoreBoy" wrapped around a brush works well. Best reserved for severe cases, but usually it doesn't hurt accuracy much afterwards. Regardless, there's plenty of scrubbing to do. Be sure to use a water based cleaner at some point to wash out the remaining salt that started the rusting.

This is probably the most important advice. Get the salts out. I'm a "quart of hot water" fan myself.
I would give Hoppe's (or your favorite commercial bore cleaner) some soak time and some serious passes with a brass brush a good chance before doing anything drastic. The brush is about the same material as the Chore Boy only shaped better for a barrel. If the brush doesn't work then think about ramping up to more determined treatment.
I would bet it will be OK even if it isn't great.

Dollar Tree in this area has steel wool and Core Boy grade scrubbers in 12 packs. They are cylinder shaped about half the size of an SOS pad. Perfect for almost any weapon cleaning chore.

Using hot water and detergent is probably one of the hardest things for a gun guy to overcome. With corrosive ammo it is essential though. I learned this many years ago on black powder weapons.
