I used the household cleaner CLR on the inside of a barrel once and it worked fine.
Out side I would use a dab of oil and some very fine steel wool or even a cloth to start and go from there.

Youtube has a lot of vids. Involves 0000 steel-wool and a variety of oils and/or solvents.

Aluminum foil, and WD40. Scrub barrel length wise.
Thats for heavy rust.
Fritz polish takes off light/med rust.
They have wire wheels for rust bluing. It's soft but removes light rust.
