Try This:

[1] Open a new terminal command prompt window
[2] Type  gpg -a --export-secret-key keyname

The private key block should then appear in your terminal window.

No passphrase is necessary unless you want to 'edit' the key.

This works in both GnuPG 1.x and 2.x 
assuming that your keyrings are in your home directory.

Don't use gpg-agent for this.

Thanks. But my problem is not the actual brute-forcing part, john is 
perfect for that. My problem is getting a usable input for john from the 
current the current private-keys-v1.d/ gpg-agent private key key store 
format.

If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it.
