Remove the cylinder from the frame, fill a 15 oz vegetable can half full of gasoline, dunk cylinder into the can for about 30 seconds. Use stainless steel chamber brush for about 5 in/out strokes in each chamber hole. Dunk in vegetable can to flush out lead debris. Do not use chamber brush on face of cylinder -- just wipe with cotton cloth.

Wipe cylinder outside dry with cotton cloth, push cotton patch thru each chamber and set aside to evaporate gasoline. Apply 1 drop of oil as required to extractor shaft for lubrication. Cleaning takes less than 2 minutes.

To the naysayers: I've been cleaning cylinders for 30 years this way without a problem. I don't care about the powder burn on the face of the cylinder--it all comes back the next time I shoot.
