After bore has soaked, run a bronze brush through the barrel several times.

Chambers should be cleaned similarly to bore. Start with a wet patch…

…followed by a thorough brushing and a dry patch.

You should also take the toothbrush to the face of the cylinder to remove any lead or powder residue, which can build up and affect the barrel/cylinder gap. On a stainless gun this often leaves a black combustion ring, which isn’t any threat to the operation of the revolver but is unsightly. The stains can usually be removed with a ‘Lead-Away’ cloth. (Caution: do not use the Lead-Away on a blued gun - it will remove the finish!)

By the time you’ve finished all that, the bore cleaner should have done its magic. Using a short (pistol length) rod, attach a bronze brush of the appropriate caliber and dip the brush into your cleaner. Run the brush through the bore several times, taking care not to let any solvent drip into the firing pin hole or the slot where the hand protrudes. Just as before, this keeps any solvent or loosened dirt from being deposited in the action.
