CLEANING 1. Visually and physically check to be certain the firearm is unloaded and remove the cylinder using the disassembly procedure described previously. 2. Using high-quality cleaning solvent, rod, and patch, clean the barrel from the muzzle end by running a cleaning rod with a solvent-coated patch through the bore several times. Be sure to stop the cleaning rod before the tip contacts the inside rear portion of the frame. 3. Attach a bronze wire brush, the appropriate size in relation to the bore, to the cleaning rod. Push it the full length of the bore from the muzzle end several times. 4. Again, swab the bore with a solvent-coated patch. 5. Using a clean, dry patch, wipe the rod clean. 6. Using another clean, dry patch, swab the bore until it is clean. 7. Repeat the above procedure for each of the six (6) chambers. 8. Run a lightly oiled patch through the bore and each of the six chambers. 9. The barrel and the external surfaces of the cylinder and frame should be thoroughly cleaned with solvent. 10. Apply a light coat of gun oil or other preservative specifically designed for firearms to the barrel and the external surfaces of the cylinder and frame. NOTICE: Some cartridges with lead bullets deposit metal fouling in the chamber throats, forcing cone of the barrel, and in the bore. If "leading" is noted in your revolver, clean it out before it builds up and interferes with reliable functioning and accuracy. A special "lead removing" cleaning tool (for bore and chambers) is available from most gun stores. 38
