If you clean your revolver after every use, run a patch with your favorite solution through the bore and chambers and let it soak for a little while, maybe a half hour, then then run more patches with solution and then dry patches several times, then wipe the entire surface, especially inside the cylinder window, cylinder face, then the exterior. Unless you are shooting some excessively hot loads that may lead the bore there is seldom a need for a brush, (if you clean it soon after shooting). Maybe every 10 or so uses a drop of oil on the yoke and and extractor rod, and maybe once a year or two remove the cylinder and possibly remove the side plate (if there has been maybe 5000-7000 rounds p/yr shot) and clean and lube the interior. If revolvers are not heavily used, being shot 10-12 times per year a box or two it might need some lube at about 10-12 years.
