Bob, I recommend this:

It's brass and the angled point works for getting in close without touching the wood. You have to go slow and careful, though.

That's a good tool recommendation and beats the steel version of the dental pick that most use. BiO, I cleaned up the stacked up rust on a disc today and it came out great. Just took off the scale, left the stain. I wiped Ballistol on it, let it sit for a couple days, then used a bronze gun cleaning brush, the bronze version of the military / M16 cleaning toothbrush with the short bristles on one end, long on the other. Went slow, wiped with a clean cloth and ballistol, more work, more wipe, came out great, no wood damage. Kroil will soak into and penetrate wood, turning it black. Ballistol is OK.

Thx D-K and Ham.... I gave it a go with Ballistol, an orange-wood stick whittled to a wedge pressed into small bronze wool pad.... 10 minutes per side and presto! it's where I want it to be. The wood stock allows whittle to the shape you desire and the wood doesn't scratch...
There you go, good idea re whittling a wood wedge to do that with bronze wool. I've got wooden dowels of various sizes that I reckon could be used as well. My rules:
1) Never use any material or brush harder than brass or bronze on a firearm.
2) Go slow; you can take more off but you can't put it back on.
