Simple answer is plug one end fill the barrel with a barrel degreaser leave over night then pour out thne run a nylon brush the brass might damage the very old rifleing , then after 4 or 5 passesof the nylon brush letting it turn with the rifling put a few strips of cotton cloth through and repeat if no cleaner , plug and put in may be wd40 the next time try some different cleaners as some clean some stuff better than others , and then just keep at it , i would not use a wire type brush as these can scratch and damage fine rifiling , just use a nylon on and good quality cleaner .
good luck but remember go easy you can always redo it but if you damage it you can not repair it
