There are automotive carbon cutting solvents you might consider. But, 150 yrs ago in the reserves, we were issued a rotary cutter that would twist onto the threads of the front barrel bushing. Spin the crank handle, a cutter would turn and chip off the carbon - symetrically. Keep adjusting the cutter with a screwdriver (?) and all the carbon would be gone. I doubt you'll find one for sale anywhere. They were probably hand made in some military workshop. But it is an idea.

Here's a good article on bore cleaning at 6mmBR.com :http://www.6mmbr.com/borecleaning.html

They talk about using GM Top Engine Cleaner for carbon removal. I've used Brake Clean in the past for Carbon, but I might pick some of this stuff up and give it a try.
