You probably don't need it.

The burn rings inside the cylinder are a bugger to get out. Here's the best way I have found after about 25 years:
Use a.40 nylon bore brush on a short rod in a hand drill. Dip the brush in chrome polish and spin it inside the tubes. If really stubborn, I cut a strip of scotchbrite pad and spiral wrap it onto the brush then spin that in the tubes. You can get the tube clean in under a minute that way.
I don't use metal brushes any more. They are abrasive and the bristles break off and end up in the gun. Nylon last a lot longer.
