Default Rust in breech area

Went through some old guns I had and came across a Traditions 1:32 twist 50 cal inline I had bought a few years back and when I received it it was loaded with pellets and a bullet. When I got it I cleaned the heck out of it and fixed it up with new fiber sites and replaced the breech plug. The barrel shines and still has deep rifling. Today I took it apart and was thinking on using it this weekend on our gun season opener when I noticed that the breech area has a surface rust around the new plug and is in the threads. I used a wire brush and solvents then applied silicon sprayed onto a patch. That seemed to work and get some of it out. The plug fits nice and there is no sticking that I can feel. Anyone use anthing special for cleaning the threads on their inline?
