How many of you guys with stainless revolvers are able to keep the cylinder faces clean?
It seems to be a real chore in the Vaquero unless I really stay on top of it. Extended range sessions can make a real mess.
To get it clean again, I drop it out of my Vaquero and saturate it with solvent. After letting it sit wet for a few minutes, I grab a 20 gauge bore brush (don't have a 20 gauge gun) and scrub the face. It usually take more than one soaking/scrubbing session to get it clean. I'll get it soaking first then clean the rest of the gun. When I'm done, I'll start scrubbing the cylinder with a wet brush. If it's still dirty I'll soak it again while cleaning the next gun then follow up with another scrubbing.
Here's the results:
You can still see faint rings.
Do you guys have to spend that much time on it or do you leave the burn rings?
