I use a vice with leather pads to hold the cylinder still attached to the revolver. For solvent I've found BoreTech to be the best of the bunch. It is totally odorless so I don't get in trouble from the house commander. I also reuse worn out bore brushes to break up the surface of the carbon ring so the BoreTech can do its thing.

Only down side of BoreTech it will give false readings if using brass jags, other than that it is awesome.
