WELL, SINCE I LIVE ON AN ISLAND AND NEAR A BEACH...I WOULD USE BEACH SAND. FILL IT ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE WAY AND ADD JUST A LITTLE MORE WATER THAN THE SAND AND SHAKE IT WITH YOUR FINGER OVER THE MOUTH FOR A MINUTE OR TWO KEEPING AN EYE ON THE PROGRESS AS YOU GO. KINDA LIKE INTERNAL SAND BLASTING W/O THE PRESSURE. IT'S WORKED FOR ME IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS WHEN A BOTTLE BRUSH CAN'T REACH NOOKS AND CRANNIES.
VERY COOL BATTLE BTW. WHAT IS IT? AVON?

Colman fuel (white gas) When I get bottles with "gunk" in them I use that,it eats the bad stuff right out. Belive it or not I used it on my eagle when i found it. It had thick gressey gunk in it. As you can see it turned out beautiful [

I am sure you will have more suggestions one is never enough[]

Diggin Doc has the right idea about using sand, although I think small bits of copper like what is used in a tumbler is ideal, since copper is soft and won't scratch the glass. I've even heard of people using dried rice.
You can either mix in some soap and water, or even better, some barkeepers friend and water. Then just shake the bottle.

IN ADDITION TO THE BEACH SAND (WHICH IS FREE) ASIDE FROM WATER, I HAVE USED BLEACH OR LACQUER THINNER.....JUST NOT TOGETHER...OR AGAIN YOU MIGHT HAVE A SMOKIN' GUN. [&:]

Stick a metal rod in it get all the dirt out and then use bb's to get the stuck on stuff out then rinse it.
PS: I have a ultrasonic cleaner that shakes all the dirt out.[]

The dollar store has Citrus cleaner for a buck or so.
It cleans all the tarry, sticky stuff out of bottles like a dream. Just let it sit a day or so.
For tough shapes (like that pistol) I use pipe cleaners, after soaking.
